'I'm not dead!' - Harry Dresden, Death Masks, Jim Butcher
Jim Butcher
I'm brilliant as well as skilled, he said modestly. It's a great burden, all of that on top of my angelic good looks. But I try to soldier on as best I can.
Jim Butcher

Jim Butcher
Apocalypse is a frame of mind. [Nicodemus] said then. A belief. A surrender to inevitability. It is a despair for the future. It is the death of hope.
Jim Butcher
Sometimes I hate having a conscience, and a stupidly thorough sense of honor.
Jim Butcher
