Fool Moon (The Dresden Files, #2)

by Jim Butcher

I closed my eyes, and Listened, a skill that isn’t hard to pick up, but that most people don’t know how to do anymore.

There’s more magic in a baby’s first giggle than in any firestorm a wizard can conjure up, and don’t let anyone tell you any different. Magic comes from what is inside you. It is a part of you. You can’t weave together a spell that you don’t believe in.

It’s all right to be afraid. You just don’t let it stop you from doing your job.

I know things. Knowledge is power. With power comes responsibility.
