“In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.”

“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.”

“I know it's not thematically in tune with my new job and all, but I find it effective. Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day," I say. "But set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life. Tao of Pratchett. I live by it.”
― Jim Butcher, Cold Days
