| 247c115 | There are some basic tenets that ninety-nine percent of all Wiccans follow, but at its core the faith is all about individual freedom. Wiccans believe that as long as you aren't hurting anyone else by doing it, you should be free to act and worship in whatever way you'd like. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 13a8ee4 | You're with me today. I need someone to watch my back. Maybe to help me eat a hot dog later. | Jim Butcher | ||

| eb0c54c | Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 4a19bca | I'm sure the world would come to an end if I were allowed to feel a sense of relief and well-being for any length of time. | Jim Butcher | ||
| c6e3977 | Death isn't something anyone likes to think about, but the fact is that you can't get out of it. No matter what you do, how much you exercise, how religiously you diet, or meditate, or pray, or how much money you donate to your church, there is a single hard, cold fact that faces everyone on earth: One day it's going to be over. One day the sun will rise, the world will turn, people will go about their daily routines--only you won't be in i.. | Jim Butcher | ||
| a0c3a19 | The history of the human race demonstrates very convincingly that free speech is the exception to the human condition, not the rule. For millennia, those who spoke out were imprisoned or killed. Hell, you could say something that wasn't even subversive, just inept and stupid, and be destroyed for committing the crime of Make no mistake. What we have today is a level of freedom and self-determination on a scale unparalleled in the history o.. | Jim Butcher | ||
| ccd7097 | It seemed like people could go one of two ways: Either freak out and start rioting, or they actually act like human beings in trouble out to, and look out for one another. When LA blacked out, there had been big time rioting. In New York, people had pulled together. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 0ce7880 | Yeah, but I'm not agnostic. Just nonpartisan. Theological Switzerland, that's me. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 5b60eef | It was the same principle as cleaning a really messy room. You don't think about everything you have to do. You focus on one thing and get it done, then more onto the next. | Jim Butcher | ||
| ad3d0ef | I do not perceive myself to be mad. But if I were truly mad, would I be able to tell? | Jim Butcher | ||
| f33a06a | Internet," she said sagely. "Expanding the frontiers of adolescent knowledge." | Jim Butcher | ||
| 4e356f2 | I'm really not all that interesting. I like reading, staying home, going on walks with my dog--it's like I'm already a retiree. Who wants to hear about that? Especially when I would have to scream it over the music to which no one dances. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 68cd562 | Money is a madness, a delusion-illusion. It's not made of metal, really. It's made of time. How much is one's time worth? If one can convince enough people that one's time is an invaluable resource, then one has lots and lots of money. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 0cd0035 | I serve." "Serve who?" "Heaven. Or the divine in nature. The memory of my fathers past. My fellow man. Myself. All pieces of the same thing." | Jim Butcher | ||

| 4c6390c | MURPHY'S SATURN HAD gotten a little blown up a couple of years back, | Jim Butcher | ||
| 8b9b6c2 | with an intensity that sent every instinct in my body screaming that death was here, that it was about to jump down my throat and rip me inside out. | Jim Butcher | ||
| cceca4c | It was a loss of identity. I was a wizard. It was more than just a job, more than just a title. Wizardry was at the core of my being. It was my relationship with my magic, the way I used it, the things it let me do that defined me, shaped me, gave me purpose. I | Jim Butcher | ||
| 815d5ee | The Wardens put on their own epic production of Fahrenheit 451," Bob said. "They spent about twenty years finding and destroying copies." | ray-bradbury | Jim Butcher | |
| 3f9130e | A stuffed animal, man!" I roared at him. "Don't mess with a wizard when he's wizarding!" | Jim Butcher | ||
| d5589a4 | We find Maggie," I said. "We take her back. And we kill anyone who gets in the way." Susan" | Jim Butcher | ||
| 820950e | I did tell you," I said. "I told you at Mac's that I'd give you a ride home, but I had to run an errand first." Thomas scowled. "An *errand* is getting a tank of gas or picking up a carton of milk or something. It is *not* getting chased by flying purple pyromaniac gorillas hurling incendiary poo." | Jim Butcher | ||

| ac70f48 | Open eyes are of little use when the mind behind them is closed." Araris" | Jim Butcher | ||
| ad632a4 | Discretion is the better part of not getting exsanguinated," I said. "Let's go." | Jim Butcher | ||
| 9faafe0 | Gandalf never had this kind of problem. He had exactly this problem, actually, standing in front of the hidden Dwarf door to Moria. Remember when... | Jim Butcher | ||
| 701b75c | Fear is a funny thing. In the right light, even tiny and insignificant fears can suddenly grow, swelling up to monstrous proportions. | Jim Butcher | ||
| c70cc99 | Trite but true--you don't know what you have until it's gone. People change. The world changes. And sooner or later you lose people you care about. If you don't mind some advice from someone who doesn't know much about families, I can tell you this: Don't take yours for granted. It might feel like all of them will always be there. But they won't." She" | Jim Butcher | ||
| 8742258 | Killing is not so easy as it seems. Most people are wired to be careful of their fellow human beings. Soldiers and cops both are specifically given training to overcome that instinct, and the criminals who fire at other people are usually driven to it by desperation. And | Jim Butcher | ||
| d6df875 | she had that kind of matronly plumpness that comes with age, pasta, and a comfortable life. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 0a919ff | Which in retrospect just goes to show that a pretty face can inspire even a bodiless spirit of intellect to dizzying heights of idiocy. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 11127a0 | I'm not exactly a useless cream puff. | useless | Jim Butcher | |
| fc99831 | Maybe my values are outdated, but I come from an old school of thought. I think that men ought to treat women like something other than just shorter, weaker men with breasts. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 1ab7406 | Fox and Scorpion came to a brook," Mab murmured, her voice low, sweet. "Wide was the water. Scorpion asked Fox for a ride on his back. Fox said, 'Scorpion, will you not sting me?' Scorpion said, 'If I did, it would mean the death of us both.' Fox agreed, and Scorpion climbed onto his back. Fox swam, but halfway over, Scorpion struck with his deadly sting. Fox gasped, 'Fool, you have doomed us both. Why?' 'I am a scorpion,' said Scorpion. 'I.. | Jim Butcher | ||

| c047a65 | There are people out there who enjoy hurting and scaring others. They're going to keep doing it until you make them stop. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 65c37a9 | Three blind men were shown an elephant. They touched it with their hands to determine what the creature was. The first man felt the trunk, and claimed that an elephant was like a snake. The second man touched its leg and claimed that an elephant was like a tree. The third man touched its tail, and claimed that the elephant was like a slender rope." I" | Jim Butcher |
