“I'd hate to find out that the universe really wasn't conspiring against me. It would jerk the rug out from under my persecution complex.”

“I grunted. “She’s not a delicate princess,” I said. “She’s a warrior. Warriors have enemies. Sometimes warriors get hurt.” I felt my jaws clench. “And then their friends even things up.”

“Erlking,” I told her. “Big-time bad guy. Wants to eat me.”

“Why?” she asked.

“Well. I met him,” I said.”

“You can't plan for everything or you never get started in the first place.”

“The last time I was at a supernatural shindig, I got poisoned and then everything there tried to kill me. So I burned the whole place to the ground.”

“I just stood there staring, because while I've seen a lot of weird things, I hadn't ever seen that.”

“There are moments in your life that, when you look back at them, you realize were perfect.”

“Thank God for imminent doomsday.”

"Why do they sell hot dogs in packages of ten but hot dog buns in packages of eight?”

“I guess maybe you don’t get to be the Merlin of the White Council by saving up frequent-flier miles”

“Lacuna peered at my shirt. "Aer-O-Smith. Arrowsmith. Does the shirt belong to your weapon dealer?"

“Love this job," Sanya murmured. "Just love it."
"I need to challenge more people to duels," Thomas said in agreement.
"Men are pigs," Murphy said.

“She gave me a hard look. "No one likes a wiseass, Harry."
"Are you kidding? As long as the wiseass is talking to someone, people love 'em.”

“It's one of the things that makes us different than they are, Harry. The blood on their hands does not make it right to bloody my own. My choices are measured against my own soul. Not against the stains on theirs.”

“Billy squinted at me. "Why are you letting them go?"
"Because they're real."
