Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Quote
Henry Sturgess: I'd like you to chop this tree down, in a single swing.
Abraham Lincoln: That tree? It's got to be more than a foot across. That's impossible.
Henry Sturgess: But it isn't a tree. It's what you hate most in the world. So tell me, Mr. Lincoln: what do you hate?
Abraham Lincoln: I hate Jack Barts.
Henry Sturgess: [motions to the tree]Then strike him down. [Abe swings, chopping into the tree, but fails to cut it down]
Henry Sturgess: Well, clearly you don't hate him that much. What do you *really* hate?
Abraham Lincoln: [swings, but again the tree stays upright]I hate that my mother was taken away.
Henry Sturgess: Inadequate.
Abraham Lincoln: [swings]I hate that we were afraid.
Henry Sturgess: And?
Abraham Lincoln: [swings]That my mother, father, everyone that we knew, lived in fear!
Henry Sturgess: Pathetic.
Abraham Lincoln: [swings]I hate that I was too small!
Henry Sturgess: Weak.
Abraham Lincoln: Yes!
Henry Sturgess: And that you failed.
Abraham Lincoln: Yes!
Henry Sturgess: To protect her.
Abraham Lincoln: Yes!
Henry Sturgess: That you... Let her die. [With a roar, Abe swings, chopping straight through the trunk of the tree and toppling it to the ground. Abe looks stunned]
Henry Sturgess: Power, Lincoln, *real* power, comes not from hate, but from truth.
