More quotes by Jim Butcher

"God isn't about making good things happen to you, or bad things happen to you. He's all about you making choices--exercising the gift of free will. God wants you to have good things and a good life, but He won't gift wrap them for you. You have to choose the actions that lead you to that life."
"When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching -- they are your family."
