White Knight

“No force in the known universe can make a gang of folks naming their organization in Latin do much of anything on time. If they’re all there by four, we’ll know there’s some kind of black magic involved.”
            -p. 41
“You can get more with a kind word and well-applied kinetomancy than with just a kind word.”
            -p. 146
“Torrents of flame, blasts of force, and impenetrable bastions of will were sort of my thing. You will note, however, how seldom words like torrent, blast, and bastion get used in conjunction with terms that denote delicacy and precision.”
            -p. 319

NevynK:
No idea why someone else hasn't mentioned this one yet but

Weapons: (WN pg.  283)

We got suited up. Swords and guns and grey cloaks and staves and magical gewgawsleft and right, yeehaw.

Elsewhere, a male vampire picked up an eight-foot-long sofa and slammed it onto a pair of ghouls ripping at the body of a fallen thrall.

Intimidation
from White Nght
I'm not going to kill you. You get to carry word to your kind.... Tell them this, never again. Tell them that. Never again. Or hell itself will not hide you from me.

Craftsmanship, specifically, quotes involving Mike the mechanic:
 
From Blood Rites, p. 360:
  Monday afternoon I got the Blue Beetle back from my mechanic, Mike, who is the automative repair equivalent of Jesus Christ himself. Either that or Dr. Frankenstein.

From Storm Front, p. 62:
  Mike is a super mechanic.  He never asked questions about the burns that slagged a hole in the front latch or the claw marks that ruined both the doors. You can't pay for service like that.

From Fool Moon, p. 11:
  Mike has declared that the VW bug is the easiest car in the world to repair, and so that's what I drive.  He keeps it running eight or nine days in ten.  That's phenomenal.

From Grave Peril, p. 124:
  My mechanic, Mike, who can keep the Beetle running most days, hadn't asked any questions.  He'd just replaced the parts with pieces of other Volkswagens, so that the Blue Beetle  was technically blue, red, white, and green.  But my appellation stuck.


Thanaeon:
I'm not sure it fits perfectly, but I don't remember it being mentioned before;

Performance
'Okay, then. Someone get a pizza and a Coke and some dice, but I want it understood that I'm going to need thews.'
Billy blinked at me. 'What?'
'Thews,' I said. 'I want big, bulging thews, and I don't want to have to think too much.'
-Summer Knight, second-to-last page

I just find the idea of such a quote in an RPG amusing.  ;D
