21 " 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 , Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, #1)
22 " But I am happy. And happiness, I have decided, is a noble ambition. "
23 " …Abe didn’t say a word. He made straight for his journal and wrote down a single sentence. One that would radically alter the course of his life, and bring a fledgeling nation to the brink of collapse. I hereby resolve to kill every vampire in America. "
24 " However, it has long been said that "my enemy's enemy is my friend. "
25 " Abraham," he said. "I'm pleased to see you alive, old friend.""And I to see you dead. "
26 " Without death, life is meaningless. It is a story that can never be told.A song that can never be sung. For how would one finish? - Henry, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter "
27 " 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. "
28 " You speak of eternal life. You speak of indulging the mind and body,” said Abe. “But what of the soul?”“And what use is a soul to a creature that shall never die?”Abe couldn’t help but smile. Here was a strange little man with a strange way of seeing things. Only the second living man he’d ever met who knew the truth of vampires. He drank to excess and spoke in an irritating, high-pitched voice. It was hard not to like him.“I begin to suspect,” said Abe, “that you would like to be one of them.”Poe laughed at the suggestion. “Is not our existence long and miserable enough?” he asked, laughing. “Who in God’s name would seek to prolong it? "
29 " I wouldn't back away from what's right just because it's hard. "
30 " Your quarrel is with God. I merely wish to offer Him the opportunity to judge you. "
31 " some men are just too interesting to die "
32 " And I like a mouse who has taken a cat for its tutor. "
33 " I think common-looking people are the best in the world. That's why the Lord makes so many of them. "
34 " 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. "
35 " Her only fault is that she lacks sense enough to avoid falling in love with such a fool as I! "
36 " We pore through libraries, dissecting the classics" Henry Sturges- vampire "
37 " Surely life has taught you that a thing can be both beautiful and vile. "
38 " I feel rather like a rabbit that has taken a fox for its pupil. "
39 " There are but two types of men who desire war: those who haven't the slightest intention of fighting it themselves, and those who haven't the slightest idea what it is. "
40 " It is their nature, beautiful and simple. That you would destroy such beings, Mr. Lincoln, such superior creatures, seems madness to me.”“That you speak of them with such reverence, Mr. Poe, seems madness to me.”"Can you imagine it? Can you imagine seeing the universe through such eyes? Laughing in the face of time and death—the world your Garden of Eden? Your library? Your harem? "
