Rowling "Nothing like a nighttime stroll to give you ideas." - Mad-Eye Moody "If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." - Sirius Black · Audiobooks · Film (Warner Bros. - 2005)Dedication:

"I sometimes find, and I am sure you know the feeling, that I simply have too many thoughts and memories crammed into my mind... At these times... I use the Pensieve. One simply siphons the excess thoughts from one's mind, pours them into the basin, and examines them at one's leisure." - Albus Dumbledore
"You will have your reward, Wormtail. I will allow you to perform an essential task for me, one that many of my followers would give their right hands to perform..." - Voldemort
"Why do they [girls] have to move in packs? How're you supposed to get one on their own to ask them?" - Harry Potter
"Kill the spare." - Voldemort
"Curiosity is not a sin.... But we should exercise caution with our curiosity... yes, indeed." - Albus Dumbledore
"Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it." - Albus Dumbledore
"You place too much importance... on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!" - Albus Dumbledore
"Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open." - Albus Dumbledore
"Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort." - Albus Dumbledore
"There was no point in worrying yet.... what would come, would come... and he would have to meet it when it did." - J.K. Rowling
