"By all means continue destroying my possessions. I daresay I have too many." "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." "Humans have a knack for choosing precisely the things that are worst for them." "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." "I could break out, of course, but what a waste of time, and frankly I can think of a whole host of things I'd rather be doing." "Scars can come in handy. I have one myself above my left knee that is a perfect map of the London Underground." "Harry, Cedric, I suggest you both go up to bed," said Dumbledore, smiling at both of them. "I am sure Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are waiting to celebrate with you, and it would be a shame to deprive them of this excellent excuse to make a great deal of mess and noise." "It's lucky it's dark...I haven't blushed so much since Madame Pomfrey told me she liked my new earmuffs." "I see a light in the kitchen. Let us not deprive Molly any longer of the chance to deplore how thin you are." "The shock of her desertion may have contributed to his early death or perhaps he had simply never learned to feed himself." "No, I was merely reading the Muggle magazines," said Dumbledore. "I do love knitting patterns." "Its the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more." "In fact, being - forgive me - rather cleverer than most men, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger." "From this point forth, we shall be leaving the firm foundation of fact and journeying together through the murky marshes of memory into thickets of wildest guesswork." "What happened down in the dungeons between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret, so, naturally the whole school knows." "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"
