In combat situations, your choices can be judged based only against what you knew at the time. To expect anything more of a soldier is to demand that he or she be superhuman. Which seems, to me, unrea...
If you weren't getting pretty close to crazy right now, would you be talking to yourself right now?
If you shoot, I will kill her before I die.Yes, Kitai said in a patient tone. Which is why I have not shot you. Yet.
I've been a young man. Boobs are near the center of the universe, until you turn twenty-five or so. Which is also when young men's auto insurance rates go down. This is not a coincidence.
I'll talk you through, Kincaid said. Dresden, better take her gun and cover us.Hey, I said. I'm in charge here. Kincaid, talk her through it. Murphy, give me your gun so I can cover you.
I would have to call a cab. It wasn't the most heroic way to ride to the rescue, but walkers can't be choosers.
I will make Maggie safe. If the world burns because of that then so be it. Me and the kid will roast some marshmallows.
I was a man seeking power. For good reasons, maybe. But I wasn’t going to lie to myself or anyone else about my actions. If I killed him, I would be taking a life, something that was not mine to take....
I told you, Molly said, never looking toward me. It's in the past. Leave it there.You listening to my head, kiddo?Her mouth twitched. Only when I want to hear the roar of the ocean.
I tapped Boz on the shoulder and said, Hey, gorgeous. His face twisted in complete surprise, turning to stare in blank incomprehension at mine. I winked at him, and whispered, Boo.
I still can’t believe, Michael said, sotto voce, that you came to the Vampires’ Masquerade Ball dressed as a vampire. Not just a vampire, I said, a cheesy vampire. Do you think they got the point?
I shrugged and said sadly, 'What? Once we gave them the vote, it went totally out of control.''You're a pig, Harry,' Murphy growled.'But a pig smart enough to bow to the inevitable.
I scowled. Murphy’s made of muscle. You just can’t see it under the suit and the body armor, I said. And she hasn’t gotten lucky with me either. Ascher stared at me for a second and blinked slowly. Yo...
I run—and not so that I’ll be skinny and look good, either. I run so that when something that wants to kill me is chasing me, I’ll be good at running.
I poke at my skull with a finger. It didn't feel soft or anything. I didn't feel insane. But if you'd really lost it, would you have enough left to know? Crazy people never thought they were crazy. I'...
I nodded to her. Then I eyed Maeve. What about you? Holding anything back?I want to take you to my bower, wizard, Maeve said, and licked her lips. I want to do things to you that give you such pleasur...
I mean, we're all going to die. We know that on an intellectual level. We figure it out when we're still fairly young, and it scares us so badly that we convince ourselves we're immortal for more than...
I mean, go figure. You prepare your home for an assault and you don’t take zombies into consideration. I’d fallen victim to one of the other classic blunders, along with not getting involved in a land...
I look at things and think about them,' Folly replied. 'And use my intuition, of course, and deduction and induction, as well as any historical or theoretical models that seem to apply.
I listened. Listening isn’t hard to do. No one has practice at it, nowadays, but you can train yourself to pay attention to your senses if you work at it long enough.
