“Sometimes, Hoss,” he said very gently, “you lose. Sometimes the darkness takes everyone. Sometimes the monster escapes to kill again another day.” He shook his head and looked down. “Sometimes, Hoss, the innocent little ones are murdered. And there’s not one goddamned thing you can do about it.”
― Jim Butcher, Changes

“A thousand curses on you and those who spawned you! You've plagued me long enough, you stygian fiend! I don't know what sulfurous pit you've crawled out of, but I mean to return you to it! I'll send you on a voyage down the river Styx if it's the last thing I do!" Twain directed his attention back to the phone. "No, I wasn't talking to you, but most of what I said still applies.”

“And even though preternaturals routinely preyed on humans when they were alone or in small groups, everyone sane understood that humans in large numbers were both paranoid and extremely dangerous. Even a single lucky human could slay a mighty dragon. As time passed into the modern era their weapons and technology made them even more deadly.
The annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had silenced even the insane.”
― A.E. Lowan, Faerie Rising: The First Book of Binding

“No, I’m going to see this man for myself. Make sure he’s acceptable.”
What was Etienne’s idea of acceptable?
Etienne reached the heavily carved front door before Cian and before Winter was even halfway down the right side of the sweeping staircase. He pulled the door open and there stood Alerich—low, black boots; tight, black jeans; a midnight-blue silk shirt that brought out his gorgeous eyes; and his tailored, black leather jacket. Behind him in the circle drive was a red sports car of the sort to give young men palpitations. He gave Etienne a pleasant smile. Etienne frowned. Hard. “Oh, hell no.” And with that, he slammed the door shut.”
― A.E. Lowan, Ties of Blood and Bone: The Second Book of Binding

"You know your friend Reginald Lootmore?" Dana pointed at a black cat glaring down at them from the rafters. "Isn't that his cat, Jump Scare?"
Jayden squinted in the dim light. "I do believe it is. I'm shocked he hasn't attacked us yet.”
― Arthur Daigle, Dana Illwind and War's Shadow

“I'm getting my ass kicked by tiny faeries!" I shouted back, fumbling to start the car. "They've got my freaking number!"

"Run away!" Bob giggled. "Run away! Tiny faeries!"

Bob's voice was only barely muffled. It sounded like he couldn't breathe. "Serious! Tiny! Faeries! The m-m- mighty wizard Dresden!”
― Jim Butcher, Cold Days

“There are none of you, good doctors, could cope with my family anyway.”
― Roger Zelazny, Nine Princes in Amber

“Brasten chuckled. "Magic does not make a man good or bad. Before my imprisonment, I met noblemen, rich merchants, judges and sheriffs equaling, if not surpassing my master in their arrogance. Power corrupts men, regardless of its source. Too many hunger for it, striving to be better than their peers rather than helping them. In my experience, it is a rare man who can turn down power or willingly give it up. Such men are to be cherished and protected, for their lives are often cut short by the ambitious.”
― Arthur Daigle, Dana Illwind and War's Shadow

“A mangled corpse in the middle of a blood-drenched floor. Berserk FBI field agents drawing guns and shooting to kill. A little kung fu, a little John Wayne, and a few casual threats.
So far, I thought, my nerves jangling, just one more night on the job.”
― Jim Butcher, Fool Moon

“I found him in a Dumpster one day when he was a kitten and he promptly adopted me. Despite my struggles, Mister had been an understanding soul, and I eventually came to realize that I was a part of his little family, and by his gracious consent was allowed to remain in his apartment. Cats. Go figure.”
― Jim Butcher, Fool Moon

“True courage, in the face of almost certain death, is the rarest quality on earth.”
― Christopher Pike, Black Blood

“I was willing to die fighting, but it was senseless for all these men to go down with me. Perhaps my blood was tainted, despite my power over the Pattern. A true prince of Amber should have had no such qualms. I decided then that my centuries on the Shadow Earth had changed me, softened me perhaps, had done something to me which made me unlike my brothers.”
― Roger Zelazny, Nine Princes in Amber

“We're not gods, Julia. We're helpers. That's all. People have called us terrible things in the past. But that was only because they didn't understand us. That understanding is for the future, a time not long from now. You may live to see it. Then perhaps you can work openly, but for now, keep your gifts to yourself. Never flaunt your abilities. Never think you hold the power of life and death. Only God has that power. When it's a person's time, nothing can save them.”
― Christopher Pike, Witch

“Look, the Devil has asked me. We’re very old acquaintances, he and I, and I couldn’t turn him down. My estate is enormous, so he asked me for a little space, since hell has become totally overpopulated and there’s no room left whatsoever. He doesn’t have any choice in the matter Himself. Nowadays, everyone wants to go to hell, and the Devil, being as decent as he is, can’t turn anyone down. You understand, don’t you? There’s nobody left in Heaven. Heaven has gone bankrupt,”.”
― A. Tomov - junior, Beyond the Absurd

“Fuck, how ironic. First Sparkles, now me. If that fucking vampire appears, I will shoot myself.”
― J.M.Davies
