| 8698460 | Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. | Yann Martel | ||
| 0d59b1b | I went about the job in a direct way. I took the hatchet in both my hands and vigorously beat the fish on the head with the hammerhead (I still didn't have the stomach to use the sharp edge). The dorado did the most extraordinary thing as it died: it began to flash all kinds of colours in rapid succession. Blue, green, red, gold, and violet flickered and shimmered neon-like on its surface as it struggled. I felt I was beating a rainbow to d.. | Yann Martel | ||
| 4c68208 | So tell me, since it makes no factual difference to you and you can't prove the question either way, which story do you prefer? Which is the better story, the story with animals or the story without animals? | inner-peace search-for-truth | Yann Martel | |
| c2912dc | People move because of the wear and tear of anxiety. Because of the gnawing feeling that no matter how hard they work their efforts will yield nothing, that what they build up in one year will be torn down in one day by others.Because of the impression that the future is blocked up,that they might do alright but not their children.Because of the feeling that nothing will change, that happiness and prosperity are possible only somewhere else.. | Yann Martel | ||
| dd0e566 | How long does it take for a broken spirit to kill a body that has food, water and shelter? | Yann Martel | ||
| 32df809 | I turned around, stepped over the Zebra and threw myself overboard. | Yann Martel | ||
| 027250c | The real Harry thought that this might just be the most bizarre thing he had ever seen, and he had seen some extremely odd things. He watched as his six doppelgangers rummaged in the sacks, pulling out sets of clothes, putting on glasses, stuffing their own things away. He felt like asking them to show a little more respect for his privacy as they all began stripping off with impunity, clearly much more at ease with displaying his body than.. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| f0e5295 | ROSE: The rumor is that he's Voldemort's son, Albus. (a horrible, uncomfortable silence.) It's probably rubbish. I mean... look, you've got a nose. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 2ec6ed8 | What are you doing Muggle Studies for?" said Ron, rolling his eyes at Harry. "You're Muggle-born! Your mum and dad are Muggles! You already know all about Muggles!" | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 1eb8e97 | I thought you two'd value yer friend more'n broomsticks or rats. Tha's all. - Hagrid | J.K. Rowling | ||
| b8d837b | Albus: First question. What do you know about the Triwizard tournament? Scorpius(happy): Ooooh, a quiz! Three schools pick three champions to compete in three tasks for one cup. What's that got to do with anything? Albus: You really are an enormous geek, you know that? Scorpius: Ya-huh. | scorpius-malfoy the-cursed-child | J.K. Rowling | |
| 97d2e83 | Poor kid has saved the world. That blanket was masterful. I mean, he also almost destroyed the world, but probably best not to focus on that bit. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| cf4990d | Apa peduli saya bagaimana tampangnya? Saya cukup cantik untuk kami berdua, menurut saya! Semua luka ini hanya menunjukkan bahwa suami saya pemberani!.. | fleur-delacour harry-potter pangeran-berdarah-campuran | J.K. Rowling | |
| f852def | A team of doctors had examined the bodies and had concluded that none of the Riddles had been poisoned, stabbed, shot, strangled, suffocated, or (as far as they could tell) harmed at all. In fact (the report continued, in a tone of unmistakable bewilderment), the Riddles all appeared to be in perfect health -- apart from the fact that they were all dead. The doctors did note (as though determined to find something wrong with the bodies) tha.. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 7e66be6 | Can you believe our luck?" said Ron miserably, bending down to pick up Scabbers. "Of all the trees we could've hit, we had to get one that hits back." -- | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 1d10348 | Harry flung himself out from behind the bush and pulled out his wand. "EXPECTO PATRONUM!" he yelled. And out of the end of his wand burst, not a shapeless cloud of mist, but a blinding, dazzling, silver animal. He screwed up his eyes, trying to see what it was. It looked like a horse. It was galloping silently away from him, across the black surface of the lake. He saw it lower its head and charge at the swarming dementors. . . . Now it was.. | light protection wonder | J.K. Rowling | |
| 7056df8 | So, Harry,' said Dumbledore quietly. "Before you got lost in my thoughts, you wanted to tell me something.' 'Yes,' said Harry. 'Professor - I was in Divination just now, and - er - I fell asleep.' He hesitated here, wondering if a reprimand was coming, but Dumbledore merely said, 'Quite understandable. Continue." | funny | J.K. Rowling | |
| 251f889 | Understanding was coming so fast, it seemed to bypass thought. | intuition | J.K. Rowling | |
| 8987449 | You think the dead we have loved ever truly leave us? You think that we don't recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble? Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself most plainly when you have need of him. How else could you produce that particular Patronus? Prongs rode again last night." It took a moment for Harry to realize what Dumbledore had said. "Last night Sirius told me all about how they became Animagi,".. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 4f4ec53 | On the count of three, we will cast our first spells. Neither of us will be aiming to kill, of course." "I wouldn't bet on that," Harry murmured, watching Snape baring his teeth." | J.K. Rowling | ||
| db7b340 | Longbottom causes devastation with the simplest spells. We'll be sending what's left of Finch-Fletchley up to the hospital wing in a matchbox. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 7359e33 | yet, sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often. Best to say nothing at all, my dear man. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| f616fa4 | Ron's old Shooting Star was often outstripped by passing butterflies. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 02cca99 | Is that a Sneakoscope?" said Hermione interestedly, standing up for a better look. "Yeah ... mind you, it's a very cheap one," Ron said. "It went haywire just as I was tying it to Errol's leg to send it to Harry." "Were you doing anything untrustworthy at the time?" said Hermione shrewdly. "No! Well ... I wasn't supposed to be using Errol. You know he's not really up to long journeys ... but how else was I supposed to get Harry's present to.. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| c2560de | I suppose he is asleep?" said Ron quietly as the witch slid the compartment door closed. "I mean -- he hasn't died, has he?" "No, no, he's breathing," whispered Hermione" | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 97a69c8 | For the first time in his life, he wanted his wand back in his hand, not to defend himself, but to attack... to kill. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| fa67852 | La grandeza inspira envidia, la envidia engendra rencor, el rencor produce mentiras. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 4e96d3a | Our Teddy! Teddy Lupin! Snogging our Victoire! Our cousin! And I asked Teddy what he was doing---- -James Sirius Potter | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 38c5a6b | Yes, Harry, you can love, said Dumbledore, who looked as though he knew perfectly well what Harry had just refrained from saying. Which, given everything that has happened to you, is a great and remarkable thing. | dumbledore half-blood-prince harry-potter horcruxes j-k-rowling love page-509 | J.K. Rowling | |
| c19c69f | Dementors caused a person to relive the worst moments of their life. What would spoiled, pampered, bullying Dudley have been forced to hear? | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 2e626c8 | Tessa was convinced that it was a lie, and also that everything she had done in her life, telling herself that it was for the best, had been no more than blind selfishness, generating confusion and mess all around. But who could bear to know which stars were already dead, she thought, blinking up at the night sky; could anybody stand to know they all were? | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 0e7fc4b | Myrtle goggled at them. "You're alive," she said blankly to Harry. "There's no need to sound so disappointed," he said grimly... "Oh, well... I'd just be thinking... if you had died, you'd have been welcome to share my toilet," said Myrtle, blushing silver. "Urgh!" said Ron... "Harry! I think Myrtle's grown fond of you! You've got competition, Ginny!" | harry humor myrtle ron | J.K. Rowling | |
| e34db60 | The sky turns even blacker still around them. 'Expecto Patronum!' SNAPE sends forward a Patronus, and it's a beautiful white shape of a doe. SCORPIUS: A doe? Lily's Patronus. SNAPE: Strange, isn't it? What comes from within. You need to run. I will keep them at bay for as long as I can. | John Tiffany & J K Rowling Jack Thorne | ||
| dbcdfff | We won!" yelled Ron, bounding into sight and brandishing the silver Cup at Harry. "We won! Four hundred and fifty to a hundred and forty! We won!" Harry looked around; there was Ginny running toward him; she had a hard, blazing look in her face as she threw her arms around him. And without thinking, without planning it, without worrying about the fact that fifty people were watching, Harry kissed her. After several long moments -- or it mig.. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| f8306a2 | Ah, the Hand of Glory!" said Mr. Borgin, abandoning Mr. Malfoy's list and scurrying over to Draco. "Insert a candle and it gives light only to the holder! Best friend of thieves and plunderers! Your son has fine taste, sir." "I hope my son will amount to more than a thief or a plunderer, Borgin," said Mr. Malfoy coldly, and Mr. Borgin said quickly, "No offense, sir, no offense meant --" "Though if his grades don't pick up," said Mr. Malfoy,.. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 226ab77 | Harry then did something that was both very brave and very stupid. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| ce9f170 | So...you lot got dates for the ball yet?" "Nope," said Ron. "Well, you'd better hurry up mate, or all the good ones will be gone," said Fred." | J.K. Rowling | ||
| d4c9610 | After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure. You know, the Stone was really not such a wonderful thing. As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would choose above all -- the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 27bbf73 | Mom?" he whispered. "Dad?" They just looked at him, smiling. And slowly, Harry looked into the faces of the other people in the mirror, and saw other pairs of green eyes like his, other noses like his, even a little old man who looked as though he had Harry's knobbly knees--Harry was looking at his family, for the first time in his life. The Potters smiled and waved at Harry and he stared hungrily back at them, his hands pressed flat agains.. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 8d19777 | An odd place to meet --" To Harry's immense disquiet, Snape's black eyes flicked to the doorways on either side of them, and then to the one-eyed witch. "We're not -- meeting here," said Harry. "We just -- met here." "Indeed?" said Snape. "You have a habit of turning up in unexpected places, Potter, and you are very rarely there for no good reason. ... I suggest the pair of you return to Gryffindor Tower, where you belong." | J.K. Rowling | ||
| a10ac8c | Mrs. Weasley glanced at the grandfather clock in the corner. Harry liked this clock. It was completely useless if you wanted to know the time, but otherwise very informative. It had nine golden hands, and each of them was engraved with one of the Weasley family's names. There were no numerals around the face, but descriptions of where each family member might be. "Home," "school," and "work" were there, but there was also "traveling," "lost.. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| b7adc0a | I am going to keep going untill I succeed or die. Don't think I don't know how this might end. I've known it for years. -Harry Potter | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 950ad5c | How would it be," she asked them coldly as they left the classroom [Prof Binns, History subject], "if I refused to lend you my notes this year?" "We'd fail our O.W.L.s," said Ron. "If you want that on your conscience, Hermoine..." "Well, you'd deserve it," she snapped. "You don't even try to listen to him, do you?" "We do try," said Ron. "We just haven't got your brains or your concentration -- you're just cleverer than we are -- is it nice.. | history-class ron-weasley school-notes | J.K. Rowling | |
