Jim Butcher
There are things you can't walk away from. Not if you want to live with yourself afterward.
Jim Butcher
Better safe than exsanguinated.
Jim Butcher
Growing up is all about getting hurt. And then getting over it. You hurt. You recover. You move on. Odds are pretty good you're just going to get hurt again. But each time, you learn something.
Jim Butcher

Jim Butcher
Demonreach only wants Harry to see what's going on. Why doesn't it just marry him? Thomas muttered under his breath. It sort of did, I said. My brother the... geosexual?
Jim Butcher
