Seth Grahame-Smith
Some people say if we split up,we can cover more ground-with blood
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
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.
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
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
But I am happy. And happiness, I have decided, is a noble ambition.
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
I hereby resolve to kill every vampire in America.
Seth Grahame-Smith
However, it has long been said that my enemy's enemy is my friend.
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
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
Of all the weapons she had commanded, Elizabeth knew the least of love and of all the weapons in the world, love was the most dangerous.
Seth Grahame-Smith
My day job is making TV shows.
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
I want to be judged harshly because that forces me to really sit down and focus.
