More quotes by Jim Butcher
The human mind isn't a terribly logical or consistent place.

That doesn't make them strong or weak people, or good or bad people. It just makes them people.

Jim Butcher
Heroism doesn't pay very well. I try to be cold-blooded and money-oriented, but I keep screwing it up.
Jim Butcher
I didn't know this before, but as it turns out, Tyrannosaurs can really haul ass.
Jim Butcher
Life is precious, fragile, fleeting - and Murphy's life was one of my favorites.
Jim Butcher
There is no spoon. I am completely spoonless over here.
Jim Butcher
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.
Jim Butcher
My head was throbbing, and my hands were shaking, but I went down the ladder to my workroom - and started figuring out how to rip someone's heart out of his chest from fifty miles away. Who says I never do anything fun on a Friday night?
Jim Butcher
Everyone stopped to blink at that for a second. I mean, come on. Impaled by a guided frozen turkey missile. Even by the standards of the quasi-immortal creatures of the night, that ain't something you see twice. For my next trick, I panted into the startled silence, anvils.
Jim Butcher
I still can't believe, Michael said, sotto voce, that you came to the Vampires' Masquerade Ball dressed as a vampire.
Jim Butcher
