...The next time I opened my eyes, I was in the morgue. This, all by itself, is enough to really ruin your day. I was lying on the examining table, and Butters, complete with his surgical gown and his tray of autopsy instruments, stood over me. 'I'm not dead!' I sputtered. 'I'm not dead!' - Harry Dresden, Death Masks, Jim Butcher

Life is full of toil, sacrifice, and pain, and from the time we stop growing, we know that we've begun dying. We watch helplessly as year by year, our bodies age and fail, while our survival instincts compel us to keep on going-which means living with the terrifying knowledge that ultimately death is inescapable.
Jim Butcher
Fear is bred from ignorance. So knowledge is a weapon against it, and reason is the tool of knowledge.
Jim Butcher
Keep in mind that this appears in the same book of the Bible that approves the death sentence for a child who curses his parents, owners of oxen who injure someone through the owner's negligence, anybody who works or kindles a fire on Sunday, and anyone who has sex with an animal.

Sticks and stones may break your bones, but Chinese throwing stars get you a dozen stitches.
Jim Butcher
Just like credit card companies, or those student loan people. Now there's evil for you.
Jim Butcher
Knowledge is the ultimate weapon. It always has been.
Jim Butcher
My head was throbbing, and my hands were shaking, but I went down the ladder to my workroom - and started figuring out how to rip someone's heart out of his chest from fifty miles away. Who says I never do anything fun on a Friday night?
Jim Butcher
The movie of my life must be really low budget.
Jim Butcher
...as nervous as a bird in a coal mine.
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.
