ZOMBIE QUOTES
quotations about zombies
When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.
KEN FOREE
Dawn of the Dead
Zombies are then a symbol of our own mad urges to destroy ourselves, and a terrifying portent that we might succeed.
KIM PAFFENROTH
Gospel of the Living Dead: George Romero's Visions of Hell on Earth
Since zombies are not fully dead, they upset the essential balance of nature: no animals eat zombies, apparently, and zombies do not seem to decay, at least, not to the point of disintegration and reintegration back into the soil, so the food chain, or the circle of life, seems to end or be short-circuited by their existence. Zombies fulfill the worst potentialities of humans to create a hellish kingdom on earth of endless, sterile repetition and boredom.

I love zombies. If any monster could Riverdance, it would be zombies.

C'mon, Viagra enhanced zombies are funny.

Zombies are not blessed with overly active frontal lobes.

Blood is really warm,
it's like drinking hot chocolate
but with more screaming.

Zombie Haiku: Good Poetry for Your ... Brains
Nothing sends the message to your enemy that he has not fully understood the situation on the battlefield--a tactician's greatest sin--like zombies unexpectedly tapping their rear guard on the shoulder and eating their brains.

Zombies are scary because people are scary. We are scary. Whether we're more terrifying to ourselves or each other is an open question, but it's obvious to anyone who's been going to the movies lately that we are telling a lot of scary stories about the future of humanity. Zombie stories are by nature dystopian. Zombies signify failure--of political will and social cohesion, of technology and medicine, of the human body and soul.

OMG YOU GUYS it has come to my attention that SOMEONE on the internet is saying that my fictional 19th century zombies are NOT SCIENTIFICALLY SOUND. Naturally, I am crushed. To think, IF ONLY I'd consulted with a zombologist or two before sitting down to write, I could've avoided ALL THIS EMBARRASSMENT.

Suppose a zombie apocalypse really happened. Do you think you'd survive? A team of students in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leicester took this question seriously. You're not going to like the answer.

Zombies are the middle children of the otherworldly family. Vampires are the oldest brother who gets to have a room in the attic, all tripped out with a disco ball and shag carpet. Werewolves are the youngest, the babies, always getting pinched and told they're cute. With all that attention stolen away from the middle child Zombie, no wonder she shuffles off grumbling, "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha."

Zombies are the real lower-class citizens of the monster world and that's why l like them.
GEORGE ROMERO
attributed, Aftershocks: The End of Style Culture
Zombies are the misanthrope's monster of choice. They represent fear and disgust of our fellow man. The anonymous animal masses. The dumb, shuffling crowd. Them -- the public. They're awesomely stupid. They have an IQ of one. Proper zombies can't operate a door handle or climb a ladder. Toss one a Rubik's Cube and it'll bounce off his thick, moaning head. All they do is walk around aimlessly, pausing occasionally to eat survivors.

My Zombie apocalypse plan is simple but effective; I fully intend to die in the very first wave.

My friend "M" says the irony of being a zombie is that everything is funny, but you can't smile, because your lips have rotted off.

Warm Bodies
Melodrama, in an ironic fashion, involuntarily transforms every zombie story into a Manichean duel. Somber heroism separates the good guys from the bad guys. Even in the face of apocalypse, you can find a guru, meditate, and make something of yourself.

The zombies were like Canadians, in that they looked enough like real people at first, to fool you.

The bonus of a zombie rampage is at least you know where the real monsters are.

They are almost like the coyote in the Road Runner cartoons. Zombies are there to be damaged, and whatever you do to them is OK. Just like you can blow the coyote's legs off and people chuckle.
