More quotes by Jim Butcher
Are you always a smartass?' Nope. Sometimes I'm asleep.
Jim Butcher
We are not going to die. Butters stared up at me, pale, his eyes terrified. We're not? No. And do you know why? He shook his head. Because Thomas is too pretty to die.

Jim Butcher
You know how confusing the whole good-evil concept is for me.
Jim Butcher
I kept a straight face while my inner Neanderthal spluttered and then went on a mental rampage through a hypothetical produce section, knocking over shelves and spattering fruit everywhere in sheer frustration, screaming, 'JUST TELL ME WHOSE SKULL TO CRACK WITH MY CLUB, DAMMIT!
Jim Butcher
Many things are not as they seem: The worst things in life never are.
Jim Butcher
I'm so pretty, it's hard for me to think of myself as intelligent.
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
No matter where you go, there you are. (Uriel to Harry Dresden)
Jim Butcher
Fear is a part of life. It's a warning mechanism. That's all. It tells you when there's danger around. Its job is to help you survive. Not cripple you into being unable to do it.
Jim Butcher
The distinction between good and evil is meaningless if one does not have the freedom to choose between them.
Jim Butcher
If your opponent has you by fifty pounds, winning a fight against him is a dubious proposition, at best. If your opponent has you by eight thousand and fifty pounds, you’ve left the realm of combat and enrolled yourself in Road-kill 101. Or possibly in a Tom and Jerry cartoon.
Jim Butcher
I can't be under arrest now... I don't have time.
Jim Butcher
Any time I’m not shooting my mouth off to a clichéd, two-bit creature of the night like you, it’s because I’m up to something.
Jim Butcher
