“That's the thing about zombies. They don't adapt and they don't think....” — Max Brooks Quote

“That's the thing about zombies. They don't adapt and they don't think. Literally, you could have a zombie on one side of a chain link fence and you could be on the other side and they could be trying to get to you and six feet down could be an open door and they will not go through that door in the fence. That's why they're so scary.”

“I remember I used to come up to my teacher crying because I couldn't read. She would say: 'You can do this. You just don't want to do this.'”

“Zombie books were going to be my passion projects, but certainly not pay the bills. I thought I was going to have to get a real job on a sitcom or something, and have my zombie books to remind myself I was still a writer at heart. I never thought I could actually pay my bills and write what I wanted.”

“You can watch 'Dawn of the Dead' and still sleep at night. Try that with 'The Day After'.”

“When I was 16, the first book I ever actually purchased with my own money, in fact, and had read on my own time was 'Hunt for Red October' by Tom Clancy.”

“'Power breaking,' also called Hanmadang - which means something like celebration or festival in Korean - involves breaking large amounts of wood, concrete, granite, and the like with specific hand and foot techniques. Practitioners rely on repeated resistance training and the idea that, over time, the body can adapt to stress.”

“When you reach a new club, having an open mind is key to be able to adapt as quickly as possible.”

“If I can adapt to different tactics I think I will be a better player.”

“As a head coach, you always have to know you have to take the opportunity and make the most out of the players, and you have to be able to adapt.”

“For me to be pompous is the most horrible thing in the world. It's like putting a wall around you. It screws you up. You'd better be willing to change your views or adapt and be modern.”

“'Adapt and overcome' is my new motto.”
