It is our choices, Harry, that show us who we truly are, far more than our abilities.
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.
It takes much bravery to stand up to our enemies but we need as much bravery to stand up to our friends.
To the well-organised mind, death is but the next great adventure.
Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?
It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.
Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.
Humans do have a knack for choosing precisely those things which are worst for them.
It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it.
