"You do care. You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it."
"Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it."
"This pain is part of being human. There is no shame in what you are feeling, Harry. On the contrary, the fact that you can feel pain like this is your greatest strength."
"Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth."
"We must try not to sink beneath our anguish... but battle on."
"It is important to fight and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then can evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated."
"You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be."
"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."
"Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike."
"When you have seen as much of life as I have, you will not underestimate the power of obsessive love."
"Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury and remedying it."
"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and above all, all those who live without love."
"Indeed, your failure to understand that there are things much worse than death has always been your greatest weakness."
"It is a curious thing, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well."
"Dark times lie ahead of us, and there will be a time when we must choose between what is easy and what is right."
"The consequences of our actions are so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed."
"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."
"We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided."
"Of course it's happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"
