But if you read Jane Austen, you know that she had a wicked sense of humor. Not only was she funny, but her early writing was very dark and had a gothic tone to it.

More quotes by Seth Grahame-Smith
And I like a mouse who has taken a cat for its tutor.
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
It was a really strange and unique sort of process for me to adapt my own book.
Seth Grahame-Smith
The day Henry made a choice... that some men are just too interesting to die.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I think any period in history can be adapted into interesting fiction, as long as you approach the actual history with respect.
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
Your quarrel is with God. I merely wish to offer Him the opportunity to judge you.
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
Father may have been wanting in some things, but here he was masterful. Night upon night, I marveled at his power to hold listeners in rapt attention. He could tell a story with such detail, such flourish, that afterwards a man could swear it had been his own memory, and not a tale at all.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I decided that it was more important to laugh than to eat.
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
Elizabeth sheathed her sword, knelt behind him, and strangled him to death with his own large bowel.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I dare say she means to keep you from his attentions. Your honour demands she be slain.
Seth Grahame-Smith
We may all deserve hell, but some of us deserve it sooner than others.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Abraham, he said. I'm pleased to see you alive, old friend. And I to see you dead.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Without death,' he answered, 'life is meaningless. It is a story that can never be told. A song that can never be sung. For how would one finish it?
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
Her only fault is that she lacks sense enough to avoid falling in love with such a fool as I!
Seth Grahame-Smith
Most men have no purpose but to exist, Abraham to pass quietly through history as minor characters upon a stage they cannot even see
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
