Laugh whenever you can. Keeps you from killing yourself when things are bad. That and vodka.
Jim Butcher
I'm not a philosopher, Harry, [Michael] said. But here's something for you to think about, at least. What goes around comes around. And sometimes you get what's coming around. He paused for a moment, frowning faintly, pursing his lips. And sometimes you are what's coming around.
Jim Butcher
No matter where you go, there you are. (Uriel to Harry Dresden)
Jim Butcher
There’s nothing that makes you more insane than family. Or more happy. Or more exasperated. Or more . . . secure.

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
Harry, Bob drawled, his eye lights flickering smugly, what you know about women, I could juggle.
Jim Butcher
Pansy, Murphy sneered. Thomas leered at her. You make my stamen tingle when you talk like that, Sergeant.

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
So there I was being strangled by a ranting, half-naked madman in the middle of the woods, with a she-werewolf dangling from a rope snare somewhere nearby.
Jim Butcher
I admit, Morgan said with another withering look, it's no donut.
Jim Butcher
Nay, but prithee, with sprinkles 'pon it instead, I said solemnly, and frosting of white.
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
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
Kids. You gotta love them. I adore children. A little salt, a squeeze of lemon--perfect.
Jim Butcher
There should be a rule against your own inner monologue throwing around that much sarcasm.
Jim Butcher
It's not my fault all women like motorcycles, Murph. They're basically huge vibrators. With wheels.
Jim Butcher
There aren't any magical words, really. Words just hold the magic.
Jim Butcher
Life is a journey. Time is a river. The door is ajar
Jim Butcher
Time after time, history demonstrates that when people don't want to believe something, they have enormous skills of ignoring it altogether.
