Image
Seedy wasn't a fair description for the place, because seeds imply eventual regrowth and renewal.

Image
There's more magic in a baby's first giggle than in any firestorm a wizard can conjure up, and don't let anyone tell you any different.
Jim Butcher
Image
Molly, you are a good person. Don't let anyone take that away from you. Not even yourself.

Image
Fear is bred from ignorance. So knowledge is a weapon against it, and reason is the tool of knowledge.

Have you ever been approached by a grim-looking man, carrying a naked sword with a blade about ten miles long in his hand, in the middle of the night, beneath the stars on the shores of Lake Michigan? If you have, seek professional help. If you have not, then believe you me, it can scare the bejeezus out of you.

There's power in the night. There's terror in the darkness. Despite all our accumulated history, learning, and experience, we remember. We remember times when we were too small to reach the light switch on the wall, and when darkness itself was enough to make us cry out in fear.

There aren't any magical words, really. Words just hold the magic.
Jim Butcher
Image
Everyone is down on pain, because they forget something important about it: Pain is for the living. Only the dead don't feel it.

Fire isn't always an element of destruction. Classical alchemical doctrine teaches that it also has dominion over another province: change.

Dresden. Am I interrupting something? Well, I was going to settle down with a porn video and a bottle of baby oil, but I really don't have enough for two.

So? Bob said. Hat up, go kill her. Problem solved. Bob, I said. You can't just go around killing people. I know. That's why you should do it. No, no. I can't go around killing people, either.

No story that juicy was going to stay secret for long.

When I'm in turmoil, when I can't think, when I'm exhausted and afraid and feeling very, very alone, I go for walks. It's just one of those things I do. I walk and I walk and sooner or later something comes to me, something to make me feel less like jumping off a building.
