Jonathan Maberry Quotes

Jim Rollins is the king of the weird science action genre Picture Quote #1

Walls, towns, rules, and day-to-day life doesn’t make us civilized ... That’s organization and ritual. Civilization lives in our hearts and heads or it doesn’t exist at all Picture Quote #1

But sometimes shame is a more powerful engine than rage. Like rage, it burns hot; and like rage it tends to consume its own furnace Picture Quote #1

A HUMAN ELEMENT is an elegant and haunting first novel. Unrelenting, devious but full of heart. Highly recommended Picture Quote #1

Get your butt in a chair and write. If it comes out weak or bad or clunky or ordinary, then accept that this happens to everyone. Everyone. Get it down, get it done, and fix it in the rewrite. Just like everyone from Stephen King to J. K. Rowling to Chuck Palahniuk does Picture Quote #1

My ‘Rot and Ruin’ series is a post-apocalyptic adventure for teens. My ‘Joe Ledger’ novels are science-based action thrillers for adults. My ‘Dead of Night’ stories are zombie tales for adults; my ‘Pine Deep Trilogy’ is classic horror for adults, and I’ve written nonfiction books on topics ranging from martial arts to folklore Picture Quote #1

When I was in middle school, the librarian there was secretary for a couple of groups of professional writers. She introduced me to Ray Bradbury and Richard Matheson, and I became very friendly with them over a period of two years. Both of them were very generous with their time, guidance and advice Picture Quote #1

I wrote a novel, Ghost Road Rules, and as soon as it was done and polished, I began reaching out to agents. I ignored the frequent advice to ‘shoot low and try for a low-level agent because they’re the only ones that will take a flyer on a new author.’ That sounded like bad advice to me Picture Quote #1

Write the best book you can, the one that demands to be written, no matter what genre it is. Even a trend the trades tell you has gone stale can be revitalized by a superb piece of writing. It’ll never be revitalized by someone jumping on a trend bandwagon Picture Quote #1

Making playlists can kill a whole afternoon for me. I like building very specific playlists for new writing projects. In a strange way, choosing certain songs is part of the process of plotting the book out. I pick songs that I think with resonate with characters, their personality quirks, relationship dynamics, action scenes, and so on Picture Quote #1

It’s just that I’m fifteen, and I have this crazy idea I might actually have a life in front of me. I don’t see how it’s going to do me much good to believe that the world is over and this is just an epilogue Picture Quote #1

The world is bigger and harder to understand than you think... You have to keep your mind as wide-open as your eyes, because almost nothing is what it seems Picture Quote #1

When we look at the flowers, we suddenly forget so many important things. We forget that all flowers die. We forget that winter will come again. We forget that nothing really endures and that, like the flowers that die at the end of the growing season, we’ll join them in the cold ground Picture Quote #1

Wolverine is a world-weary old warrior. His rage issue notwithstanding, I see him as someone with the tortured soul of a poet, but one who has seen too many friends and lovers die. Even with that, he has grown into a leader and a true hero Picture Quote #1

My favorite monster has always been the zombie. They are so much fun. They can be scary, pathetic, sad, funny, tragic, even heroic. They are the most elastic monster because, even with all of that, they don’t interfere with telling stories about the humans. They serve as threats and metaphors, but they allow the story to be about people Picture Quote #1

Revenge is an infection of the spirit Picture Quote #1

Sometimes shame is a more powerful engine than rage Picture Quote #1

Suffering is easier to endure when shared Picture Quote #1

We’re each alone inside our heads, some more so than others Picture Quote #1

Closure isn’t closure until someone’s ready to close the door Picture Quote #1

They won the war but lost the peace Picture Quote #1

Guilt and rage, hatred and fear were pathways to weakness and clumsy choices Picture Quote #1

Things said and done innocently should never be used as weapons Picture Quote #1

Rage was sometimes a useful ally in the heat of a fight, but it was a trickster. It made everything seem possible Picture Quote #1

Suddenly all those careful preparations disintegrated as predators far more dangerous than the walking dead proved what all wise killers already knew: that nothing was more dangerous than living men Picture Quote #1

It’s easier to be a character in a story than the star of your own tragedy Picture Quote #1

There was a sliver of moon and a splash of stars, and the light outlined her face and glistened on the tears that ran like mercury down her cheeks Picture Quote #1

Often it was the most unlikely people who found within themselves a spark of something greater. It was probably always there, but most people are never tested, and they go through their whole lives without ever knowing that when things are at their worst, they are at their best Picture Quote #1

They held each other and wept as the night closed its fist around their tiny shelter, and the world below them seethed with killers both living and dead Picture Quote #1

It’s important to know the past, but your survival depends on knowing the present Picture Quote #1
