Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Quotes

[Henry leads Abe to the cellar of his home, to test him on what he has learned]
Henry Sturgess: Before you protect others from darkness, you must first be able to protect yourself. Your enemies have the power to render themselves invisible. You must have the ability to fight blind. To see without seeing.
[He shuts the door, plunging the room into darkness. There are

the sounds of grunts, blows landing and Abe moaning. The door opens, revealing Abe, coughing and bloody, crawling slowly towards the door as if to leave]
Abraham Lincoln: Again.
[He shuts the door]

[first lines]
Abraham Lincoln: [voice-over in his journal] History prefers legends to men. It prefers nobility to brutality, soaring speeches to quiet deeds. History remembers the battle and forgets the blood. Whatever history remembers of me, if it remembers anything at all, it shall only be a fraction of the truth. For whatever else I am - a husband, a lawyer, a President

- I shall always think of myself as a man who struggled against darkness.

[Mary comes to visit Abe and Will in jail]

Mary Todd Lincoln: [smiles] Well, I think plain-looking

men are the best. It's why the Lord made so many of them.

Henry Sturgess: [in the bath with Gabriella as Lincoln bursts in] Might I suggest we begin by... closing the door.
Abraham Lincoln: [stammering as he backs out of the room] Y-y-yeah, I'm sorry... I didn't see anything!
Henry Sturgess: [coming out and walking through the house] Should we dive right in? Or were you finding Gabriella's

egress too distracting?
Abraham Lincoln: I'm sorry, sir but who are you?
Henry Sturgess: Who I am is Henry Sturges. And where you are is my home. And what happened... I saved your life... during you rather pathetic attempt at taking another's.
Abraham Lincoln: What were you doing there and... how did you know I would try to

kill Barts?
Henry Sturgess: How? I watched this boy carry out his first long-awaited mission. Drunk, I might add.

Henry Sturgess: [to Lincoln] You know I can restore the dead.
Mary Todd Lincoln: [entering the room] Do it... do it.
Abraham Lincoln: Mary...
Mary Todd Lincoln: Do it...
[to Lincoln]
Mary Todd Lincoln: Your journal... the one you always kept in your coat pocket... I know I

shouldn't have, Abe, but I needed to know what you were hiding...
[to Henry]
Mary Todd Lincoln: If what you say is true, I beg you... give us our little boy back.
Abraham Lincoln: Mary, he wouldn't be our little boy. He would be something else, something terrible. Trust me, you don't want that.
Mary Todd Lincoln: You're

asking me to trust you, after you lied to me for all these years?
Abraham Lincoln: I did it to protect you, to protect our family.

take that away and no one is safe!
