I don't know how.
Jim Butcher
There are things you can't walk away from. Not if you want to live with yourself afterward.
Jim Butcher
Are you always a smartass?' Nope. Sometimes I'm asleep.
Jim Butcher
Being a wizard gives you more power than most, but it doesn't change your heart. We're all human. We're all of us equally naked before the jaws of pain.
Jim Butcher
You rush a miracle worker, you get lousy miracles!
Jim Butcher
You don't go walking into the proverbial lion's den lightly. You start with a good breakfast.
Jim Butcher
My laboratory,' I said, experimentally, drawing out each syllable. 'Why is it that saying it like that always makes me want to follow it with 'mwoo-hah-hah-hahhhhh'? ' 'You were overexposed to Hammer Films as a child?' - Harry Dresden & Bob the Skull, Changes, Jim Butcher
