It was never too late to learn something. The past is unalterable in any event. The future is the only thing we can change. Learning the lessons of the past is the only way to shape the present and the future.

More quotes by 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.
Jim Butcher
I felt like I had just double-tapped Santa.
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
...as nervous as a bird in a coal mine.
Jim Butcher
I like to stay cozy with my paranoia, not pass her around to my friends and family.
Jim Butcher
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.

I admit, Morgan said with another withering look, it's no donut.
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
For me chivalry isn't dead it's an involuntary reflex.
Jim Butcher
Because nothing says flattery like a gun to the head.
Jim Butcher
I checked my gear, my pockets, my shoelaces, and realized that I had crossed the line between making sure I was ready and trying to postpone the inevitable.
Jim Butcher
Sometimes I hate having a conscience, and a stupidly thorough sense of honor.
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
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
I didn't know this before, but as it turns out, Tyrannosaurs can really haul ass.
Jim Butcher
Whenever it gets too dark, think of the good things you have, the good times you've had. It will help. I promise.
