Jump into an open grave? What kind of idiot are you? Butters replied. I might as well put on a red shirt and volunteer for the away team. There's snow and ice and slippery mud down there. That's like asking for an ironically broken neck.

More quotes by 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
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.
Jim Butcher
Knowledge is the ultimate weapon. It always has been.
Jim Butcher
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.
Jim Butcher
It is the prerogative of wizards to be grumpy. It is not, however, the prerogative of freelance consultants who are late on their rent, so instead of saying something smart, I told the woman on the phone, Yes, ma'am. How can I help you today?
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.
Jim Butcher
A technicality I'm prepared to hide wildly behind.
Jim Butcher
There is the world that should be and the world that is. We live in one and must create the other.
Jim Butcher
I admit, Morgan said with another withering look, it's no donut.
Jim Butcher
Demonreach only wants Harry to see what's going on. Why doesn't it just marry him? Thomas muttered under his breath. It sort of did, I said. My brother the... geosexual?
Jim Butcher
Caring about someone isn't complicated. It isn't easy. But it isn't complicated, either. Kinda like lifting the engine block out of a car.
Jim Butcher
I believe that there's a cloud for every silver lining,' I said.
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
You can't plan for everything or you never get started in the first place.
Jim Butcher
Sticks and stones may break your bones, but Chinese throwing stars get you a dozen stitches.
Jim Butcher
An inferior sense of smell, Marcus said, as if absolutely nothing of significance had happened, is distinct from being told that one smells unpleasant.
Jim Butcher
Kincaid, evidently exhausted himself, drew a gun, took the safety off, placed it on his chest, and went to sleep too. It's cute, I whispered to Murphy. He has a teddy Glock.
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
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
There is, I think, humor here which does not translate well from English into sanity.
