Jim Butcher
I'd been in hairier situations than this one. Actually, it's sort of depressing, thinking how many times I'd been in them. But if experience had taught me anything, it was this: No matter how screwed up things are, they can get a whole lot worse.

Life is a journey. Time is a river. The door is ajar

Jim Butcher

Murphy had found a spot on the street, which made me wonder if she didn't have some kind of magical talent after all. Only some kind of precognitive ESP could have gotten us a parking space on the street, in the shadow of a building, with both of us in sight of the apartment building's entrance.
Jim Butcher
Animals do not do what they have done. Animals kill to eat, to defend themselves or their own, and to protect their territory. Not for the joy of it. Not for the lust of it...Only humans do that, wizard.
Jim Butcher
Laugh whenever you can. Keeps you from killing yourself when things are bad. That and vodka.
Jim Butcher
...you look like you fell out of a crazy tree and hit every branch on the way down.
Jim Butcher
Bob wasn't precisely a friend to me but... I was used to him. In a way he was family, the mouthy, annoying, irritable cousin who was always insulting you but who was definitely at Thanksgiving dinner. I had never considered the possibility that one day he might be something else.
Jim Butcher
Now I feel like James Bond. Suave and intelligent, breaking all the codes while looking fabulous.
Jim Butcher
You're dead, son. Cheer is contraindicated.
Jim Butcher
I'm so pretty, it's hard for me to think of myself as intelligent.
Jim Butcher
