1 " Given a choice between life and death, choose life. Given a choice between right and wrong, choose what's right. And given a choice between a terrible truth and a beautiful lie, choose the truth every time. "
― Mira Grant , Blackout (Newsflesh, #3)
2 " Alive or dead, the truth won't rest. Rise up while you can. "

3 " George, she says it's the truth that matters. We live and die for the chance to maybe tell a little bit of the truth, maybe shame the Devil just a little bit before we go. "
4 " It is what it is. Isn't that how these things always go? They are what they are. We just get to cope. "
5 " Behold the power of the truth. When people see its shadow on the wall, they don't want to take the time to look away. "
6 " She told the truth as she saw it, and she died for it. I came along for the ride, and I lived. It wasn't worth it. But it was the truth, and it was what had to happen. "
7 " Nothing is impossible to kill. It's just that sometimes after you kill something you have to keep shooting it until it stops moving "
8 " Think about that for a moment. They died for you. Now take a good look at the life you're living and tell me: Did they do the right thing? "
9 " ...they come to us, these restless dead,Shrouds woven from the words of men,With trumpets sounding overhead(The walls of hope have grown so thinAnd all our vaunted innocenceHas withered in this endless frost)That promise little recompenseFor all we risk, for all we've lost... "
10 " Every life has a watershed moment, an instant when you realize you’re about to make a choice that will define everything else you ever do, and that if you choose wrong, there may not be that many things left to choose. Sometimes the wrong choice is the only one that lets you face the end with dignity, grace, and the awareness that you’re doing the right thing. "
11 " I was tired of being a haunted house' he said. 'Thank you for coming home. "
12 " The problem with people who have power is that they start thinking more about what it takes to keep that power than they do about whats right or wrong or just plain a bad idea. Here's a tip for you: if you're ever in a position to be making calls on right and wrong that can impact an entire nation, run your decisions past a six year old. If they look at you in horror and tell you you're getting coal in your stocking for the rest of your life, you should probably reconsider your course of action. Unless you want to be remembered as a monster, in which case, knock yourself out. "
13 " Words have power. "
14 " ...but that was the thing about reality. It didn't need to make sense. "
15 " Do I believe in God? That somebody made all this happen for a reason, that there’s something waiting for us after we die? That there’s a purpose to all this crap? I don’t know. I’d like to be able to say “Yes, of course” almost as much as I’d like to be able to say “Absolutely not,” but there’s evidence on both sides of the fence. "
16 " One man's gospel truth is another man's blasphemous lie. The dangerous thing about people is the way we'll try to kill anyone whose truth doesn't agree with ours. "
17 " My mother once told me that no woman is naked when she comes equipped with a bad mood and a steady glare. "
18 " I guess in the end, it doesn’t matter what we wanted. What matters is what we chose to do with the things we had. "

19 " Everything is 'just a story'. Tragedy, comedy, end of the world, what ever it's just a story. What matters is making sure it's heard. "
20 " We were the ones on scene when everything went down. We weren't better. We weren't worse. We were just the ones standing in the blast radius. "
