To Harry Potter — the boy who lived!

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.

Really, it had been stupid to expect anything anyway. A few late nights does not a habit, or a relationship, make.

Jealousy has less to do with how a person feels towards you and more to do with how he feels about himeself. It is an unhealthy emotion rooted in insecurity.

May you find comfort by reading and mediation on God’s word.

I can hear the tick tick tick in my head: A tripwire ready to explode in fury. And then, in my mind, I start to count down from ten…any moment now.

The hammer never complains of the noise.

Only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. One is to let her think she is having her own way and the other to let her have it.

I wish I could tell every young girl with an eating disorder, or who has harmed herself in any way, that she's worthy of life and that her life has meaning. You can overcome and get through anything.

One who no longer wishes to laugh had best marry in France; they will soon find that it is no laughing matter.

Twenty million people are starving. Whatever their politics, they shall be fed!

Well, I think they're going to learn that an awful lot of French people changed their minds. In 1940, the Third Republic had made a miserable mess of it.
