More quotes by Jim Butcher
Life is precious, fragile, fleeting - and Murphy's life was one of my favorites.
Jim Butcher
Oh, I forgot to mention it: My brother is the kind of man whom women stalk. In cooperative packs.
Jim Butcher
Better safe than exsanguinated.

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
Discretion is the better part of not getting exsanguinated.
Jim Butcher
The human mind isn't a terribly logical or consistent place. Most people, given the choice to face a hideous or terrifying truth or to conveniently avoid it, choose the convenience and peace of normality. That doesn't make them strong or weak people, or good or bad people. It just makes them people.
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
