Quotable:

"Whether you return by page, or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home." --JK Rowling

"Of course it's happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" --Albus Dumbledore

"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and above all, those who live without love." --Albus Dumbledore

"Till then, I gotta go back to the Muggle world. They're going to try to tell me this wasn't real and none of this happened, but you know what? It was real. It did happen. We spent time here, we made friends here; it's part of us. Hogwarts is bigger than any of us...it's bigger than any of its founders, and it's going to be around long after we're gone. Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day. That's the thing about Hogwarts: No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back." -A Very Potter Musical

"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." --Sirius Black

“You may not see it now,” said the Princess of Pure Reason, looking knowingly at Milo’s puzzled face, “but whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way. Why, when a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes round the world; when a speck of dust falls to the ground, the entire planet weighs a little more; and when you stamp your foot, the earth moves slightly off its course. Whenever you laugh, gladness spreads like the ripples in the pond; and whenever you’re sad, no one anywhere can be really happy. And it’s much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever you learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer.” --The Phantom Tollbooth

"All that writers can do is keep trying to say what is deepest in their hearts."
--Lloyd Alexander

"Read, read, read. Read everything - trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window."
William Faulkner
