J. K. Rowling Silly Quotations

... there are far, far worse things in the living world than dying.

Don't be silly, Dawlish. I'm sure you are an excellent Auror, I seem to remember you achieved 'Outstanding' in all your N.E.W.T.s, but if you attempt to — er — 'bring me in' by force, I will have to hurt you.

Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.

... you could claim that anything's real if the only basis for believing in it is that nobody's proved it doesn't exist!

... perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it.
