It was strange how your brain could know what your heart refused to accept.

What's life without a little risk?

It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices.

We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

It is our choices... that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already.

The world is full of wonderful things you haven't seen yet. Don't ever give up on the chance of seeing them.

There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you.

Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart!

Twilight fell: The sky turned to a light, dusky purple littered with tiny silver stars.

Take a stand that reflects the widest horizons of your soul if you don’t want to be a slave to external powers.

What you reject today, you could accept tomorrow. And what you accept today, you could reject tomorrow. Never say never unless you can predict the future.

If you are not praying the type of prayers that scare you, your prayers are certainly not frightening our enemy.

We waste this life dreaming of another.

For as labor cannot produce without the use of land the denial of the equal right to use of land is necessarily the denial of the right of labor to its own produce.

You just deal with the cards that are dealt you and you just go on and push forward.

In the end what you don't surrender, well, the world just strips away.

I like people who try to do big things.

We have to construct communities of artists because they don't naturally exist in our culture.

Toughness doesn't have to come in a pinstripe suit.
