More quotes by Seth Grahame-Smith
It's absurd to think of 'Pride and Prejudice,' this classic, beloved book, beset with a zombie uprising. The goal is to make you suspend your disbelief enough to allow you to get lost in the story and believe what you're reading for a while.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I nearly broke out laughing when the wrteched soothsayer warned Caesar: Beware the Ides of April. I thought it a miracle (and a relief) that no one in the udience had snickered or yelled out a correction. How could such an error be made by an actor? Had my ears deceived me?
Seth Grahame-Smith
What makes a good book and what makes a good movie are totally different things.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I like my zombies slow and I like my zombies stupid.
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 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
Elizabeth sheathed her sword, knelt behind him, and strangled him to death with his own large bowel.
Seth Grahame-Smith

Seth Grahame-Smith
Contrary to his infallibly honest image, Abe wasn't above lying so long as it served a noble purpose.
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
There are so many stories to tell in the worlds of science fiction, the worlds of fantasy and horror that to confine yourself to even doing historical revisionist fiction, whatever you want to call it - mash-ups, gimmick lit, absurdist fiction - I don't know if I want to do that anymore.
Seth Grahame-Smith
It was a really strange and unique sort of process for me to adapt my own book.
Seth Grahame-Smith
And I like a mouse who has taken a cat for its tutor.
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
I want to be judged harshly because that forces me to really sit down and focus.
Seth Grahame-Smith
All I ask is that my final months be happy ones, and that I be permitted a husband who will see to my proper Christian beheading and burial.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Real power... comes not from hate, but from truth.
Seth Grahame-Smith
My day job is making TV shows.
Seth Grahame-Smith
On the contrary, there is something pleasing about his mouth when he speaks. And there is something of dignity in the way his trousers cling to those most English parts of him.
