I leave you, hoping that the lamp of liberty will burn in your bosoms until there shall no longer be a doubt that all mean are created free and equal.

More quotes by Seth Grahame-Smith
Abraham Lincoln comes from nothing, has no education, no money, lives in the middle of nowhere on the frontier. And despite the fact that he suffers one tragedy and one setback after another, through sheer force of will, he becomes something extraordinary: not only the president but the person who almost single-handedly united the country.
Seth Grahame-Smith
It was a really strange and unique sort of process for me to adapt my own book.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I think zombies have always been an easy metaphor for hard times. Because they're this big, faceless, brainless group of evil things that will work tirelessly to destroy you and think of nothing else.
Seth Grahame-Smith
The day Henry made a choice... that some men are just too interesting to die.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Sometimes we see the Civil War in movies and imagine these neatly aligned rows of men with muskets, walking in line to shoot each other. In reality the things that fascinated me were how absolutely ruthless and violent so many engagements were, how much suffering and how men were not prepared.
Seth Grahame-Smith
My men have suffered greatly (from boredom), much blood has been shed (by mosquitoes), and I have swung my ax mightily (chopping firewood). Surely we have earned our place in the annals of history—for never has there been so little war in a war.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I wouldn't back away from what's right just because it's hard.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Movie characters rarely get to think out loud or talk very much about their emotions. Instead they have to, very briefly, show their feelings through their action or through dialog.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I would much prefer their minds to be engaged in the deadly arts than clouded with dreams of marriage and fortune, as your own so clearly is!
Seth Grahame-Smith
Your quarrel is with God. I merely wish to offer Him the opportunity to judge you.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I always say that the characters in Jane Austen's original books are rather like zombies because they live in this bubble of immense wealth and privilege and no matter what's going on around them they have a singular purpose to maintain their rank and to impress others.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do for I shall not have my best warrior resigned to the service of a man who is fatter than Buddha and duller than the edge of a learning sword.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Her only fault is that she lacks sense enough to avoid falling in love with such a fool as I!
Seth Grahame-Smith
The true roll in determing to embrace or reject anything is not whether it have any evil in it but whether it have more of evil than of good. There are few things wholly evil or wholly good.
Seth Grahame-Smith
It was a sort of peace I have rarely enjoyed since. As if we were the only two souls on earth—all of nature ours to enjoy. I wondered why a creator who had dreamt such beauty would have slandered it with such evil. Such grief. Why He had not been content to leave it unspoilt. I still wonder.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I like my zombies slow and I like my zombies stupid.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Real power... comes not from hate, but from truth.
Seth Grahame-Smith
And when this intoxication has worn away... when every desire is fulfilled and every language learned- when there are no more distant cities to explore no classics to be studied not another coin to be stuffed in to one's coffers- what then? One can have all the comforts of the world, but what use are they if there is no comfort in them?
Seth Grahame-Smith
Of all the weapons in the world, love is the most dangerous.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Hug your children...Kiss your mothers and fathers, your brothers and sisters. Tell them how much you love them, every day. Because every day is the last day. Every light casts a shadow. And only the gods know when the darkness will find us.
Seth Grahame-Smith
