When you die, do you want to feel ashamed of what you've done with your life? Feel ashamed of what your life meant?

Magic. It can get a guy killed.

Life is a journey. Time is a river. The door is ajar

Its amazing waht you can get used to if your daily allowance of bizarre is high enough.'......Harry Dresden

Whatever you do, do it for love. If you keep to that, your path will never wander so far from the light that you can never return.

I didn't want to believe that killing was deep inside of me. I didn't want to think about the part of me that took a dark joy in gathering all the power it could and using it as I saw fit, everything else be damned. There was power to be had in hatred, too, in anger and in lust, in selfishness and in pride. And I knew that there was some dark corner of me that would enjoy using magic for killing—and then long for more. That was black magic, and it was easy to use. Easy and fun. Like Legos.

Many things are not as they seem: The worst things in life never are.
