| a03f72c | even when someone is deserving of your anger, they're still deserving of compassion. It's hard to pull off, believe me--no one knows that more than me. And if you're only going to pull it off a handful of times in your life, why not for family? | Jonathan Tropper | ||
| cf70d83 | Molly was a big believer in shaping the future by way of carrying anything you might need in a backpack. | Jim Butcher | ||
| b246018 | But... my choices haven't always been very good," I said. "Whose have?" he asked." | Jim Butcher | ||
| 5b0f8c6 | You have enemies enough without tearing open your own wounds over things you could not have prevented. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 8ea5f8d | Every potion has eight parts. One part is a base liquid to hold the others and provide a medium for mixing. Five parts are symbolically linked to each of the five senses. One is similarly linked to the mind, and another to the spirit. The basic ingredient to the stimulant potion was coffee, while the base for the scent-masking potion was water. I got them both to boiling. | Jim Butcher | ||
| d28d4e6 | I snagged a golden paper crown from one of the bags, and idly joined it into a circle and put it on my head. Susan blinked at me and let out a brief laugh. 'I am' I intoned with an imperious narrowing of my eyes, 'the burger king. | Jim Butcher | ||
| d440603 | You can have your harem change out the bandages later," I said. "How busy are you today?" "Oh," he mused. "I don't know. I mean, I've got to get a new shirt now." "After that," I asked, "would you like to help me save the city? If you don't already have plans." He snorted. "You mean, would I like to follow you around, wondering what the hell is going on because you won't tell me everything, then get in a fight with something that is going t.. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 58e4c90 | It's an old place, but it sings in the darkness and is, in its own quirky little way, alive. It's home. | Jim Butcher | ||
| f73a3bb | and several bulging bookshelves which I really will organize one day. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 6f5e76f | Mister went to his spot before the fireplace and demanded that it be made warm. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 396694b | I had bitten into my tongue, and I either had to spit or swallow. I swallowed. No comments, please. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 8ab09d3 | I used to think I loved it. But now I realize that it's just dependency. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 8b594bc | Chicago. It's insane and violent and corrupt and vital and artistic and noble and cruel and wonderful. It's full of greed and hope and hate and desire and excitement and pain and happiness. The air sings with screams and laughter, with sirens, with angry shouts, with gunshots, with music. It's an impossible city, at war with itself, every horrible and wonderful thing blending together to create something terrifying and lovely and utterly un.. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 40179ea | I hadn't realized, until I actually heard his voice, how much I'd missed the demented little perv. | Jim Butcher | ||
| e80811d | A mangled corpse in the middle of a blood-drenched floor. Berserk FBI field agents drawing guns and shooting to kill. A little kung fu, a little John Wayne, and a few casual threats. So far, I thought, my nerves jangling, just one more night on the job. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 859ab24 | The Faerie Courts are duking it out up there, and it's probably going to be very hairy. The Summer Lady is our baddie, and the Winter Knight is her bitch. She has a magic hankie. She's going to use it to change a statue into a girl and kill her on a big Flintstones table at midnight. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 4ff9b48 | Uh," I said, feeling somewhat off balance. "What do I think of gay guys?" "Yes." "Boink and let boink, more or less." | Jim Butcher | ||
| 63145cd | Wizardry aside, it's tough to beat a gun for discouraging men with baseball bats. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 8f82f40 | Most of the bad guys in the real world don't know that they are bad guys. You don't get a flashing warning sign that you're about to damn yourself. It sneaks up on you when you aren't looking. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 813e4e5 | Jealousy is common among lesser men, | Jim Butcher | ||
| 3046b7e | But dammit, words mean what they mean, even if everyone thinks they ought to mean something else. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 1bbf7f1 | In combat situations, your choices can be judged based only against what you knew at the time. To expect anything more of a soldier is to demand that he or she be superhuman. Which seems, to me, unreasonable. | Jim Butcher | ||
| ab7662e | You're reacted to the fear, but you haven't ever faced it and put it into the fight perspective. You have to make up your mind to overcome it. | fear-quotes harry-dresden | Jim Butcher | |
| 08117ec | The Shroud was old, and regarded as special, and people believed in it. That could be enough to give it a kind of power, all by itself. | power-of-thoughts | Jim Butcher | |
| 190db34 | I held my hand up, frowning. "Wait a minute. Where did you say this thing was stolen from?" "The Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist." Father Vincent said. "In Northern Italy." I said. He nodded. "In Turin, to be exact." "He nodded again, his expression reserved. "Someone stole the freaking ?" I demanded. "Yes." | shroud-of-turin | Jim Butcher | |
| b0dd3ca | Raw power doesn't determine all that you can do with magic. Focus matters, too. The better your focus is, the better you are at putting your power in one place at the same time, the more you can get done. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 38e751f | We're stunning--and we need to be, if we're to make a good impression and accomplish our goals. It's vain, it's stupid, and it's shallow, but that makes it no less true. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 4dbb94c | My mouth kept running without checking in with my brain. My heart maybe, but not my brain. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 5099e90 | It doesn't take much power to hurt someone," she said. "It's far easier than healing the damage." | Jim Butcher | ||
| 420b535 | When people come to the only professional wizard in the Chicago phone book for help, they're one of two things: desperate or smart. Very rarely are they both. | Jim Butcher | ||
| f21862b | Try not to look like that," Ascher said under breath, after we were in the elevator. "Like what?" I asked. "Like you're expecting ninjas to leap out of the trash cans. This is a party." "Everyone knows there's no such things as ninjas," I scoffed. "But it will be something. Count on it." | ninjas party trash-cans | Jim Butcher | |
| 15f2756 | Come with me if you want to live. | movie-quotes terminator | Jim Butcher | |
| 15fbbb8 | Harry, that's not a plan, it's a Looney Tune. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 32039a7 | Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of trauma, I will fear no concussion. Crane | Jim Butcher | ||
| ca5617e | The best magic comes from the inside. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 47b7ff0 | And besides, she was curious. She had questions. And answering questions was very nearly always more important than caution. | Jim Butcher | ||
| c608511 | I had time to think, though I wasn't sure I wanted to. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 2192603 | the beginning of wisdom is in realizing that one knows nothing, then the beginning of understanding is in realizing that all things exist in accord with a single truth: Large things are made of smaller things. Drops | Jim Butcher | ||
| 6a8ebba | Hands that wrap us in warmth, that hold us close. Hands that guide us to shelter, to comfort, to food. Hands that hold and touch and reassure us through our very first crisis, and guide us into our very first shelter from pain. The first thing we ever learn is that the touch of someone else's hand can ease pain and make things better. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 38f7388 | Tragically misunderstood? Hah! I understand you, buddy. You're such a pompous, arrogant, pretentious, chauvinistic, hopelessly old-fashioned, stupidly pigheaded | Jim Butcher | ||
| fba01e9 | It's one hour. Just one little hour. What could happen in one hour?" And that's how I knew that Mort was telling the whole truth when he said he wasn't a hero. Heroes know better than to hand the universe lines like that." | Jim Butcher | ||
| ae15e41 | My answer came out at once. For me, chivalry isn't dead; it's an involuntary reflex. It could have been any woman asking for help, and I'd have said the same thing. It might have taken me a second or two longer, but I would have. For Elaine, there was no need to think about it for even that long. "I'll help." -- | Jim Butcher | ||
| 1b5c6de | More than anything, I wanted to crawl into a hole and pull it in after me. I wanted to be not. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 15b0dda | It's boring." "Oh," I said. I rubbed at my jaw. "You think I should have gone four-color?" Bob stared at me for a second and said, "I have nightmares about Hell, where all I do is add up numbers and try to have conversations with people like you." I glowered up at the skull and nodded. "Okay, fine. You think it needs more drama." "More anything. Drama would do. Or breasts." I sighed and saw where that line of thought was going. "I am not go.. | harry-dresden jim-butcher legs | Jim Butcher |
