Break his little heart. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 1f232d2 | Souls," I said. "I mean, you always wonder if they're real. Even if you believe in them, you still have to wonder: Is my existence just this body? Is there really something more? Do I really have a soul?" Uriel's smile blossomed again. "You've got it backward, Harry," he said. "You a soul. You a body." -- | Jim Butcher | ||
| e54f9bd | Hey," He croaked. "You. Arrogant bitch ghost." "I'm not really into this whole hero thing," Mort said. "Don't have the temperament for it.
