| e34c613 | Los hombres hacen lo que pueden, las mujeres hacen lo que los hombres no pueden. | Isabel Allende | ||
| 4abb853 | Sadness and boredom were more bearable than the effort of living a normal life. Perhaps the idea of death began to hover over her during that period, as a kind of higher order of lassitude in which she would not have to move the blood in her veins or the air in her lungs; her repose would be absolute- not to think, not to feel, not to be. | suicide | Isabel Allende | |
| f8964c7 | The most savory grape, the one that produces the wines with best texture and aroma, the sweetest and most generous, doesn't grow in rich soil but in stony land; the plant, with a mother's obstinacy, overcomes obstacles to thrust its roots deep into the ground and take advantage of every drop of water. That, my grandmother explained to me, is how flavors are concentrated in the grape. | Isabel Allende | ||
| 048285b | If, for example, I saw my grandparents or my daughter for an instant, would I recognize them? Probably not, because in looking so hard for a way to keep them alive, remembering them in the most minimal details, I have been changing them, adorning them with qualities they may not have had. I have given them a destiny much more complex than the ones they lived. | Isabel Allende | ||
| 9a5a89d | Kematian selalu membuntuti Kehidupan dengan begitu dekat, bukanlah karena keharusan biologis, melainkan karena rasa iri. Kehidupan ini begitu indah, sehingga maut pun jatuh cinta padanya. Cinta yang pencemburu dan posesif, yang menyambar apapun yang bisa diambilnya | cinta indah iri maut posesif hidup kehidupan kematian mati | Yann Martel | |

| 978f76a | We are all born like Catholics . . . in limbo, without religion. | religion | Yann Martel | |
| 2065953 | I have a fierce will to live. Others fight a little, then lose hope. Still others - and I am one of those - never give up. We fight and fight and fight. We fight no matter the cost of battle, the losses we take, the improbability of success. We fight to the very end. | Yann Martel | ||
| 01d535f | Life and death live and die in exactly the same spot, the body. It is from there that both babies and cancers are born. | Yann Martel | ||
| b704132 | An adult female orang-utan cannot defeat an adult male spotted hyena. That is the plain empirical truth. Let it become known among zoologists. Had Orange Juice been a male, had she loomed as large on the scales as she did in my heart, it might have been another matter. But portly and overfed though she was from living in the comfort of a zoo, even so she tipped the scales at barely 110 pounds. Female orang-utans are half the size of males. .. | Yann Martel | ||
| b236a87 | The tennis challenger starts strong but soon loses confidence in his playing. The champion racks up the games. But in the final set, when the challenger has nothing left to lose, he becomes relaxed again, insouciant, daring. Suddenly he's playing like the devil and the champion must work hard to get those last points. | Yann Martel | ||
| 0979d2f | That thing has a name? | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 6fe9b79 | Haber sido amado tan profundamente, aunque esa persona que nos amo no este, nos deja para siempre una proteccion. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 01fc458 | But, dear, if he got lost, how would we ever explain to his aunt and uncle?" "They wouldn't mind," Harry reassured her. "Dudley would think it was a brilliant joke if I got lost up a chimney, don't worry about that --" -- | J.K. Rowling | ||
| b55f832 | There's a way of doing it!" Hermione said crossly. "There just has to be!" She seemed to be taking the library's lack of useful information on the subject as a personal insult; it had never failed her before." | J.K. Rowling | ||
| e0463cd | Neden hep orumcekler? Neden 'kelebekleri takip edin' degil? | ron | J.K. Rowling | |
| 8bae9cc | Urgh -- essence of Millicent Bulstrode. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 0faa495 | The exceptions were two men a little ahead of them, standing just outside the Three Broomsticks. One was very tall and thin; squinting through his rain-washed glasses Harry recognized the barman who worked in the other Hogsmeade pub, the Hog's Head. As Harry, Ron, and Hermione drew closer, the barman drew his cloak more tightly around his neck and walked away, leaving the shorter man to fumble with something in his arms. They were barely fe.. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| fbe72a5 | Every hour that passed added to her grief, because it bore her further away from the living man, and because it was a tiny foretaste of the eternity she would have to spend without him. Again and again she found herself forgetting, for the space of a heartbeat, that he was gone forever and that she could not turn to him for comfort. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 43bbbfa | Wenn wir traumen, betreten wir eine Welt, die ganz und gar uns gehort. <3 | prisoner-of-azkaban j-k-rowling | J.K. Rowling | |
| 4ca52bb | Follow the spiders," said Ron weakly, wiping his mouth on his sleeve. "I'll never forgive Hagrid. We're lucky to be alive." "I bet he thought Aragog wouldn't hurt friends of his," said Harry. "That's exactly Hagrid's problem!" said Ron, thumping the wall of the cabin. "He always thinks monsters aren't as bad as they're made out, and look where it's got him! A cell in Azkaban!" | J.K. Rowling | ||
| b67afb8 | And no wonder we couldn't find Flamel in that Study of Recent Developments in Wizardry," said Ron. "He's not exactly recent if he's six hundred and sixty-five, is he?" | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 0d806e2 | The forest hides many secrets. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 40ee52a | Poor Crookshanks, that witch said he'd been in there for ages; no one wanted him." "I wonder why," said Ron sarcastically as they set off toward the Leaky Cauldron." | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 46af94e | Yeh always wait fer the Hippogriff ter make the first move,' Hagrid continued. 'It's polite, see? Yeh walk towards him, and yeh bow, an' yeh wait. If he bows back, yeh're allowed to touch him. If he doesn' bow, then get away from him sharpish, 'cause those talons hurt. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 2bea53b | Voldemort uses people his enemies are close to. He's already used you as bait once, and that was just because you're my best friend's sister. Think how much danger you'll be in if we keep this up. He'll know, he'll find out. He'll try and get to me through you. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 624a567 | Harry felt winded, as though he had just walked into something heavy. He had last seen those cool gray eyes through slits in a Death Eater's hood, and last heard that man's voice jeering in a dark graveyard while Lord Voldemort tortured him. He could not believe that Lucius Malfoy dared look him in the face; he could not believe that he was here, in the Ministry of Magic, or that Cornelius Fudge was talking to him, when Harry had told Fudge.. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 6fd0b69 | Your great puddin' of a son don' need fattin' anymore Dursley, don't worry | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 0e5d6ff | And while I'm sure they're very admirable and brave and all the rest of it, I don't personally fancy the mortality rate - | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 309aa52 | Luna didn't seem perturbed by Ron's rudeness; on the contrary, she simply watched him for a while as though he were a mildly interesting television programme. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 371ea54 | Dobby cannot let Harry Potter lose his Wheezy! | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 0781a43 | Dinner, Nagini. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 32cc0dc | When you were straight, evil thoughts and memories came pouring up out of the darkness inside you; buzzing black flies clinging to the insides of your skull. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 318c139 | Only a week away!" said Ernie Macmillan of Hufflepuff, emerging from the crowd, his eyes gleaming. "I wonder if Cedric knows? Think I'll go and tell him. . . ." "Cedric?" said Ron blankly as Ernie hurried off. "Diggory," said Harry. "He must be entering the tournament." "That idiot, Hogwarts champion?" said Ron as they pushed their way through the chattering crowd toward the staircase. "He's not an idiot. You just don't like him because he .. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 519caa7 | Pity you can't attach an extra arm to your [broom], Malfoy. Then it could catch the Snitch for you. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 01f7374 | That," said Harry, "is a really good question." | J.K. Rowling | ||
| e3be6fe | The corridor dissolved, and the scene took a little longer to reform: Harry seemed to fly through shifting shapes and colors until his surroundings solidified again and he stood on a hilltop, forlorn and cold in the darkness, the wind whistling through the branches of a few leafless trees. The adult Snape was panting, turning on the spot, his wand gripped tightly in his hand, waiting for something or for someone... His fear infected Harry t.. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 9f98681 | What do they think they're doing, keeping a thing like that locked up in a school?" said Ron finally. "If any dog needs exercise, that one does." | J.K. Rowling | ||
| bf2add4 | Don't you call me an idiot!" said Neville. "I don't think you should be breaking any more rules! And you were the one who told me to stand up to people!" "Yes, but not to us," said Ron in exasperation." | J.K. Rowling | ||
| fb3b0c0 | The house-elves of Hogwarts swarmed into the entrance hall, screaming and waving carving knives and cleavers, and at their head, the locket of Regulus Black bouncing on his chest, was Kreacher, his bullfrog's voice audible even above this din: "Fight! Fight! Fight for my Master, defender of house-elves! Fight the Dark Lord, in the name of brave Regulus! Fight!" | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 76fc4a1 | Nie wierze! Nie wierze! Och, Ron, to cudownie! 'Prefekt! Jak kazdy w tej rodzinie!' A ja i Fred to co, jestesmy tylko sasiadami?' zdenerwowal sie George, kiedy matka odepchnela go na bok i rzucila sie na swego najmlodszego syna, obejmujac go gwaltownie. | twins | J.K. Rowling | |
| fe1c920 | Powerful infatuations can be induced by the skilful potioneer, but never yet has anyone managed to create the truly unbreakable, eternal, unconditional attachment that alone can be called Love | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 48c5dbe | but I gotta tell yeh, I thought you two'd value yer friend more'n broomsticks or rats. Tha's all. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| a342df7 | For that was the terrible power of the dementors: to force their victims to relive the worst memories of their lives, and drown, powerless, in their own despair. . . . | J.K. Rowling |
