    Seth Grahame-Smith
    “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?”
    ― Seth Grahame-Smith, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
