Maybe the Merlin was right. Maybe its better to look stupid but strong, than it is to look smart but weak, I don't know. I'm not sure I want to believe that the world stage bears that strong a resemblance to high school.

I like to stay cozy with my paranoia, not pass her around to my friends and family.
Jim Butcher
I am blind and limited. I would be a fool think myself wise. And so, not knowing what the universe means, I can only try to be responsible with the knowledge, the strength, and the time given to me. I must be true to my heart.
Jim Butcher
In the name of the Pizza Lord. Charge!

Molly blinked, then looked at Thomas and said, Wait a minute.... We're his flunkies. You, may be, Thomas said, sneering. I'm his thug. I'm way higher than a flunky. You are high if you think I'm taking any orders from you, Molly said tartly.
Jim Butcher
Whenever you've got a choice, do good, kiddo. It isn't always fun or easy, but in the long run it makes your life better.
Jim Butcher
And I knew that there was some dark corner of me that would enjoy using magic for killing—and then long for more. That was black magic, and it was easy to use. Easy and fun. Like Legos
Jim Butcher
Life would be unbearably dull if we had answers to all our questions.

When a young writer comes up to me with an ambitious idea for a 20-book series, I usually tell him to maybe try something smaller to start off with.
Jim Butcher
Evil isn’t the real threat to the world. Stupid is just as destructive as Evil, maybe more so, and it’s a hell of a lot more common. What we really need is a crusade against Stupid. That might actually make a difference.
Jim Butcher
The fire of my tribulations had not simply been pain to be endured. It had been an agent of transformation. After all that I'd been through, I'd changed. Not for the worse, I was pretty sure--at least not yet. But only a moron or a freaking lunatic could have faced the things I had and remained unfazed by them.
Jim Butcher
We're all of us equally naked before the jaws of pain.
Jim Butcher
Have you ever felt despair? Absolute hopelessness? Have you ever stood in the darkness and known, deep in your heart, in your spirit, that it was never, ever going to get better? That something had been lost, forever, and that it wasn't coming back?
Jim Butcher
You can't plan for everything or you never get started in the first place.
Jim Butcher
If I was on the road to Hell, at least I was going in style.
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
Jobs are a part of life. Maybe you've heard of the concept. It's called work? See, what happens is that you suffer through doing annoying and humiliating things until you get paid not enough money. Like those Japanese game shows, only without all the glory.
Jim Butcher
Time after time, history demonstrates that when people don't want to believe something, they have enormous skills of ignoring it altogether.
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. And because I'm too stubborn to die. I hauled on the shirt even harder. And most of all because tomorrow is Oktoberfest, Butters, and polka will never die.
Jim Butcher
If you can't stop the bad thoughts from coming to visit, at least you can make fun of them while they're hanging around.
Jim Butcher
I'm so pretty, it's hard for me to think of myself as intelligent.
