Jim Butcher
Likest thou jelly within thy doughnut?

...the Female Once-Over - a process by which one woman creates a detailed profile of another woman based upon about a million subtle details of clothing, jewelry, makeup, and body type, and then decides how much of a social threat she might be. Men have a parallel process, but it's binary: Does he have beer? If yes, will he share with me?

She quirked one eyebrow, very slightly, somehow conveying layers of disapproval toward multiple aspects of my appearance, conduct, and situation, and said, 'Finally.' 'There’s been a lot on my mind,' I replied. 'It seems unlikely that your cares will lighten,' Queen Mab replied. 'Improve your mind.'
Jim Butcher
Whenever it gets too dark, think of the good things you have, the good times you've had. It will help. I promise.
Jim Butcher
I've always felt that the best whips and chains are in the mind. With a little creativity, the physical ones are hardly necessary.
Jim Butcher
I can't be under arrest now... I don't have time.
Jim Butcher
I put it down to the paranoia of advancing age. It isn't like I'm all that old or anything, especially for a wizard, but age is always advancing and I'm fairly sure it's up to no good.
Jim Butcher
There should be a rule against your own inner monologue throwing around that much sarcasm.
Jim Butcher
Let's sum up: an unknown number of enemies with unknown capabilities, supported by a gang of madmen, packs of attack animals, and superhumanly intelligent pocket change.
Jim Butcher
There is, I think, humor here which does not translate well from English into sanity.
Jim Butcher
I am blind and limited. I would be a fool think myself wise. And so, not knowing what the universe means, I can only try to be responsible with the knowledge, the strength, and the time given to me. I must be true to my heart.
