Jim Butcher
It isn't enough to stand up and fight darkness. You've got to stand apart from it, too. You've got to be different from it.
Jim Butcher
Paranoid? Probably. But just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face.
Jim Butcher
Evil isn’t the real threat to the world. Stupid is just as destructive as Evil, maybe more so, and it’s a hell of a lot more common. What we really need is a crusade against Stupid. That might actually make a difference.

Jim Butcher
Like “love,” “hope” is one of those ridiculously disproportional words that by all rights should be a lot longer.
Jim Butcher
