Jim Butcher
Ignorance is more than bliss, it's freaking orgasmic ecstacy!
Jim Butcher
The movie of my life must be really low budget.
Jim Butcher
Punctuality is for people with nothing better to do
Jim Butcher
It was never too late to learn something. The past is unalterable in any event. The future is the only thing we can change. Learning the lessons of the past is the only way to shape the present and the future.
Jim Butcher
How long have you been a Wiccan?' 'A what?' 'A pagan. A witch.' 'I'm not a witch,' I said, glancing out the door. 'I'm a wizard.' Sanya frowned. 'What is the difference?' 'Wizard has a Z' He looked at me blankly. 'No one appreciates me.' I muttered.
Jim Butcher
Life would be unbearably dull if we had answers to all our questions.
Jim Butcher
Life is precious, fragile, fleeting - and Murphy's life was one of my favorites.
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.
