From World War Z:

[In regards to Allies winning WWII] "Anyone with the most rudimentary understanding of that conflict will give you three real reasons: first, the ability to manufacture more material, more bullets, beans, and bandages than the enemy; second, the natural resources available to manufacture that material; and third, the logistical means not only to transport those resources to the factories, but also to transport the finished products out to the front lines."

[In regards to Buckingham Palace and the Queen]
"One shielded our bodies, the other, our souls."

"It's ironic that the only way to kill a zombie is to destroy its brain, , because, as a group, they have no collective brain to speak of. There was no leadership, no chain of command, no communication or cooperation on any level. There was no president to assassinate, no HQ bunker to surgically strike. Each zombie is its own, self-contained, automated unit, and this last advantage is what truly encaspulates the entire conflict."

"For the first time in history, we faced an enemy that was actively waging total war. They would never negotiate, never surrender. They would fight until the very end because, every second of every day, was devoted to consuming all life on Earth."
