More quotes by Jim Butcher
The distinction between good and evil is meaningless if one does not have the freedom to choose between them.
Jim Butcher
I slammed the doors open a little harder than I needed to, stalked out to the Blue Beetle, and drove away with all the raging power the ancient four-cylinder engine should muster. Behold the angry wizard puttputt-putting away.
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
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
A succubus on the set. Strike that, the health-conscious kid sister made it two… succubuses. Succubusees? Succubi? Stupid Latin correspondence course.
Jim Butcher
The human mind is not a terribly logical or consistent place.
Jim Butcher
In the name of the Pizza Lord. Charge!
Jim Butcher
...you look like you fell out of a crazy tree and hit every branch on the way down.
Jim Butcher
Sometimes I think that's where most of us are. Fighting off the crazy as best we can. Trying to become something better than we were. It's that second bit that's important.
Jim Butcher
No one is an unjust villain in his own mind. Even - perhaps even especially those who are the worst of us. Some of the cruelest tyrants in history were motivated by noble ideals, or made choices they would call hard but necessary for the good of their nation. We're all the hero of our own story.
Jim Butcher
Being a wizard gives you more power than most, but it doesn't change your heart. We're all human. We're all of us equally naked before the jaws of pain.
Jim Butcher
There’s nothing that makes you more insane than family. Or more happy. Or more exasperated. Or more . . . secure.
Jim Butcher
I guess maybe you don’t get to be the Merlin of the White Council by saving up frequent-flier miles
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
Tavi grinned. Are you with me? The plan is insane, Ehren said. YOU are insane. He looked around the inside of the tent. I'll need some pants.
Jim Butcher
Isana felt her throat tighten. We failed. Serai lifted her chin and patted Isana's arm firmly. We have not yet succeeded. There is a difference.
Jim Butcher
There are things you can't walk away from. Not if you want to live with yourself afterward.
Jim Butcher
Seedy wasn't a fair description for the place, because seeds imply eventual regrowth and renewal.
Jim Butcher
You can't plan for everything or you never get started in the first place.
Jim Butcher
Everyone is down on pain, because they forget something important about it: Pain is for the living. Only the dead don't feel it.
