“The characters within a book were, from a certain point of view, identical on some fundamental level ‒ there weren't any images of them, no physical tangibility whatsoever. They were pictures in the reader's head, constructs of imagination and ideas, given shape by the writer's work and skill and the reader's imagination. Parents, of a sort.”
― Jim Butcher, Small Favor

“Some people are like Slinkies. They aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to my face when I push them down a flight of stairs.”
― Patricia Briggs, Iron Kissed

“Nobody can be bad at everything. There’s no such thing as a perfect screwup.”
― Jim Butcher, Mean Streets

“The human mind is not a terribly logical or consistent place.”
― Jim Butcher, Turn Coat
