If books are indeed magic (and does anyone really believe otherwise?), — Jim C. Hines

"A wizard am I, whom many dread, With power like a God. So come with me to yonder bed, And see my mighty rod."

"Logically, Jig knew he was safe. Logic, however, had only a single small voice, and was easily overwhelmed by panic."

"Goblins didn’t pray. They had no use for gods, a disinterest matched only by the gods’ disdain for goblins."

"He hoped he hadn’t killed the guard. He had come here to help the goblins. Though eliminating some of the stupider guards might be construed as helping. He would have to think about that later."

"Plans were for adventurers. He preferred the goblin approach. Blind panic might not work all the time, but at least it saved you the stress of planning."

"The most difficult part was letting yourself ignore the lies your eyes told. Eyes were like children. If they had nothing to say, they made things up."
