Jim Butcher
I still can't believe, Michael said, sotto voce, that you came to the Vampires' Masquerade Ball dressed as a vampire.
Jim Butcher
The U.S. isn't a perfect place, but it's better than most people have managed to come up with. And all my stuff is there.
Jim Butcher
Discretion is the better part of not getting exsanguinated.
