There should be a rule against your own inner monologue throwing around that much sarcasm.
Jim Butcher
Image
Most of the bad guys in the real world don't know that they are bad guys. You don't get a flashing warning sign that you're about to damn yourself. It sneaks up on you when you aren't looking.

It would require a singularly stupid man to go hang around in narrow tunnels and cramped spaces alongside a threat like that. And I, Harry Dresden, am that man, I stated.

Here had lived someone else who knew that the only thing waiting at home was a sense of loneliness. Sometimes it is comforting. Most often, it isn't.

Alone. It's one of those small words that means entirely too much. Like fear. Or trust.

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

Life would be unbearably dull if we had answers to all our questions.

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.

Even in winter, the cold isn't always bitter, and not every day is cruel.
