Abe and Henry



Henry

“Judge us not equally, Abraham. We may all deserve hell, but some of us deserve it sooner than others” 

-

“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?”

-

“Living men are bound by time... Thus, their lives have an urgency. This gives them ambition. Makes them choose those things that are most important, cling more tightly to that which they hold dear. Their lives have seasons, and rites of passage, and consequences. And ultimately, an end. But what of a life with no urgency? What then of ambition? What then of love?” 

Abraham

“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.”

-

“The true roll in determining 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.”

-

“But I am happy. And happiness, I have decided, is a noble ambition.”

 -SETH GRAHAME-SMITH, Abraham Lincoln; Vampire Hunter
