More quotes by Jim Butcher
When you do something stupid and die, it's pathetic, I said. When you do something stupid and survive it, then you get to call it impressive or heroic.
Jim Butcher
There is no truer gauge of a man's character than the way in which he employs his strength, his power.
Jim Butcher
Love is another kind of power, which shouldn't surprise you. Magic comes from emotions, among other things.
Jim Butcher
Isana laughed. And you, lady? Are you a woman of conscience or of ambition? The lady smiled. That's a question rarely asked here at court. And why is that? Because a woman of conscience would tell you that she is a person of conscience. A woman of ambition would tell you that she is a person of conscience—only much more convincingly.
Jim Butcher
Santa is a much bigger and more powerful faery than Toot, and I don't know his true name anyway. You'd never see me trying to nab Saint Nick in a magic circle even if I did. I don't think anyone has stones that big.
Jim Butcher
There should be a rule against your own inner monologue throwing around that much sarcasm.
Jim Butcher
There’s nothing that makes you more insane than family. Or more happy. Or more exasperated. Or more . . . secure.
Jim Butcher
Don't call me a dinosaur. It isn't fair to the dinosaurs. What did a dinosaur ever do to you?
Jim Butcher
Like “love,” “hope” is one of those ridiculously disproportional words that by all rights should be a lot longer.
Jim Butcher
We're all of us equally naked before the jaws of pain.
Jim Butcher
Fire isn't always an element of destruction. Classical alchemical doctrine teaches that it also has dominion over another province: change.
Jim Butcher
When I finally got tired of arguing with her and decided to write a novel as if I was some kind of formulaic, genre writing drone, just to prove to her how awful it would be, I wrote the first book of the Dresden Files.
Jim Butcher
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.
Jim Butcher
Sometimes I hate having a conscience, and a stupidly thorough sense of honor.
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
We all must die. There is no better way to do so than in the pursuit of something you love.
Jim Butcher
Because nothing says flattery like a gun to the head.
Jim Butcher
I just stood there staring, because while I've seen a lot of weird things, I hadn't ever seen that.
Jim Butcher
I can't believe I'm about to say this, I said. So think real careful about where this is coming from. Have you people ever considered *talking* when you've got a problem?
Jim Butcher
If I was on the road to Hell, at least I was going in style.
