"When I was in high school my teacher told me that there are more people alive today than have ever lived. Don't worry; she lied, then got cancer. (Not my fault.) We live atop a mountain of corpses. The Earth is swimming in humans, above and below the ground, so when I see you trying to raise the dead, I'm torn. On the one hand, I recognize your despair. On the other hand, do you really want to spend the rest of the week fending off a Zombie Apocalypse as the Earth vomits up her dead? AGAIN? Come on, man, think this through: every time you try this, we end up fighting zombies. I hate zombies. Just put the syringe down."

"Life after life, you won't need flowers on your grave. You won't need prayers; you have no mortal soul to save."

"You know that line they feed you in boot camp, "You can rest when you're dead"? Complete bullshit!"
