Update:

I added the BR quote from Corinthian's mentioned by earlier responses, as well as some passages from Eb. about his parents.

Added some quotes from Cold Days.  One pertaining to his mother, and 2 about his dalliances with death bringing some attention to Harry that he might not like.

Is it possible the Conrinthians talks about the three swords? So maybe at the end of BAT, only the three swords will be what remains against entropy?

There are some in Skin Games as well, but I can't  quote them. Like Michael  and Harry conversation  near the end.
War Cry -
"Thomas doesn't fight back, not even for an instant. In the end, it's not common sense that pulls me back from the brink, or even fear of being devoured by the Shoggoth....It's the look of unshakeable trust in my Brother's eyes, even as my hands tighten around his throat."

Or against Empty Night? Interesting, but tough to support considering that I thought Harry'd be involved, and don't see him wielding a Sword...
Carlos is a planarian.  This is quite efficient as, if he is ever bisected during a fight, there will be two of him.

You are a good person. Don't let anyone take that away from you. Not even yourself.

Im pretty well convinced it is indeed talking about the Swords/Knights, and that the "Stars falling from the sky" bit is a reference to Empty Night, which based on what the Mothers said in CD (and the fact that it's the title of the Final Dresden novel) it refers to the Outsider's getting In.  We brought this up here a few posts back, which had links to the original thread discussing the idea.

I remember some other quotes, but do not have the books in front of me.

1) I thought Rasheed made some comment "it is not yet time for you to stand against the council...." that I thought was interesting.

2) Lash's comments in white knight, just before she sacrafices herself.  Ofthen thought a reference to starborn or harry's powers vs outsiders.

3) I thought some of the words of Mother Winter and Summer were interesting in CD or summer knight. 

4)  and some of the comments of demonreach were cryptic and might be interesting.

How about Harry's dream-conversation with Malcolm by the campfire in Dead Beat?  Malcolm lists a whole bunch of events that await his son, and death is right in the middle of them, in keeping with Changes's position about halfway through the series.
