After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure. ~J.K. Rowling, "The Man with Two Faces,"
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, 1997,
spoken by the character Albus Dumbledore
The two men appeared out of nowhere, a few yards apart in the narrow, moonlit lane. For a second they stood quite still, wands pointing at each other's chests: then, recognising each other, they stowed their wands beneath their cloaks and set off, side by side, in the same direction.

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, "The Man with Two Faces,"
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, 1997,
spoken by the character Albus Dumbledore
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

The truth is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with caution.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.

The dementors affect you worse than the others because there are horrors in your past that others don't have.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Alkaban
Remus Lupin to Harry.
You can exist without your soul, you know, as long as your brain and heart are still working. But you'll have no sense of self anymore, no memory, no....anything. There's no chance at all of recovery. You'll just exist. As an empty shell.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Alkaban
Remus Lupin to Harry.
The consequences of our actions are so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Alkaban

You think the dead we 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 plainly when you have need of him.

It's a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up.

If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Spoken by Sirius Black.
I sometimes find, and I am sure you know the feeling, that I simply have too many thoughts and memories crammed into my mind.... At these times... I use the Pensieve. One simply siphons the excess thoughts from one's mind, pours them into the basin, and examines them at one's leisure.

Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Spoken by Albus Dumbledore.
If you're holding out for universal popularity, I'm afraid you will be in this cabin for a very long time.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Spoken by Albus Dumbledore.
You place too much importance... on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Spoken by Albus Dumbledore.
We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. Lord Voldemort's gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust. Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Albus Dumbledore to Hogwart's students.
Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Spoken by Albus Dumbledore.

His priority did not seem to be to teach them what he knew, but rather to impress upon them that nothing, not even... knowledge, was foolproof.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
You sort of start thinking anything's possible if you've got enough nerve.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Spoken by Ginny Weasley.
The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by an invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing.

Spoken by Severus Snape.
Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Spoken by Albus Dumbledore.
Indeed, your failure to understand that there are things much worse than death has always been your greatest weakness.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Dumbledore to Voldermort.
Harry, suffering like this proves you are still a man! This pain is part of being human … the fact that you can feel pain like this is your greatest strength.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Dumbledore to Harry as he struggles with grief and anger over Sirius's death.
Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike ...We wizards have mistreated and abused our fellows for too long, and we are now reaping our reward.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Dumbledore to Harry, talking about Sirius's treatment of Kreacher.
He chose the boy he thought most likely to be a danger to him ... and notice this, Harry. He chose, not the pureblood (which according to his creed, is the only kind of wizard worth being or knowing), but the half-blood, like himself. He saw himself in you before he had ever seen you, and in marking you with that scar, he did not kill you, as he intended, but gave you powers, and a future, which have fitted you to escape him not once, but four times so far.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Dumbledore to Harry.
An invisible barrier separated him from the rest of the world. He was - he had always been a marked man.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Time is making fools of us again.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Spoken by Albus Dumbledore.
We must try not to sink beneath our anguish, Harry, but battle on.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Spoken by Albus Dumbledore.
It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew - and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents - that there was all the difference in the world.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Spoken by Albus Dumbledore.
People find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Spoken by Albus Dumbledore.
Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Dumbledore to Harry.
When you have seen as much of life as I have, you will not underestimate the power of obsessive love.

It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.

The Lord Of The Rings Quotes
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
The Lord of the Rings
Farewell speech of Bilbo Baggins, Chapter 'A Long-Expected Party'.
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began,
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many path and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
The Lord of the Rings
The Old Walking Song sung by Bilbo Baggins, Chapter 'A Long-Expected Party'.
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
The Lord of the Rings
Verse of the Ring, quoted by Gandalf, two lines of which are inscribed on Bilbo Baggins' ring, identifying it as the One Ring, Chapter 'The Shadow of the Past'.
"Always after a defeat and a respite, the Shadow takes another shape and grows again."
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
The Lord of the Rings
Gandalf and Frodo Baggins, Chapter 'The Shadow of the Past'.
"What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature, when he had a chance!"
"Pity? It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without need. And he has been well rewarded, Frodo. Be sure that he took so little hurt from the evil, and escaped in the end, because he began his ownership of the Ring so. With Pity."
The Lord of the Rings
Frodo and Gandalf on the betrayer Gollum, Chapter 'The Shadow of the Past'.
"He deserves death."
"Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it. And he is bound up with the fate of the Ring. My heart tells me that he has some part to play yet, or good or Ill, before the end; and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many - yours not least."
The Lord of the Rings
Frodo and Gandalf discussing the fate of the betrayer Gollum, Chapter 'The Shadow of the Past'.
"You say the ring is dangerous, far more dangerous than I guess. In what way?"
"In many ways. It is far more powerful than I ever dared to think at first, so powerful that in the end it would utterly overcome anyone of mortal race who possessed it. It would possess him."
The Lord of the Rings
Frodo and Gandalf, Chapter 'The Shadow of the Past'.
He used often to say there was only one Road; that it was like a great river: it's springs were at every doorstep and every path was it's tributary. "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door," he used to say. "You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no telling where you might be swept off to."
The Lord of the Rings
Frodo about his uncle Bilbo Baggins, Chapter 'Three is Company'.
"I knew that danger lay ahead, of course; but I did not expect to meet it in our own Shire. Can't a hobbit walk from the Water to the River in peace?"
"But it is not your own Shire," said Gildor. "Others dwelt here before hobbits were; and others will dwell here again when hobbits are no more. The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out."
The Lord of the Rings
Gildor to Frodo, Chapter 'Three is Company'.
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
The Lord of the Rings
A Walking Song sung by Frodo, Sam and Pippin, as they set off for Buckland, Chapter 'Three is Company'.
Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
The Lord of the Rings
Gildor, Chapter 'Three is Company'.
Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes.
The Lord of the Rings
Frodo, Chapter 'Three is Company'.
"They seem a bit above my likes and dislikes, so to speak," answered Sam slowly. "It don't seem to matter what I think about them. They are quite different from what I expected — so old and young, and so gay and sad, as it were."
The Lord of the Rings
Sam speaking of the Elves, Chapter 'A Short Cut to Mushrooms'.
Sing hey! For the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is a noble thing!
The Lord of the Rings
One of Bilbo's favorite bath songs sung by the hobbits after arriving at Frodo's new house in Buckland, Chapter 'A Conspiracy Unmasked'.
O! Wanderers in the shadowed land
despair not! For though dark they stand,
all woods there be must end at last,
and see the open sun go past:
the setting sun, the rising sun,
the day's end, or the day begun.
For east or west all woods must fail...
The Lord of the Rings
Song in the Woods sun by Frodo as the four hobbits walk through the Old Forest, Chapter 'The Old Forest'.
O slender as a willow-wand! O clearer than clear water!
O reed by the living pool! Fair River-daughter!
O spring-time and summer-time, and spring again after!
O wind on the waterfall, and the leaves' laughter!
The Lord of the Rings
Song to Lady Goldberry, Tom Bombadil's wife, by Frodo, Chapter 'In the House of Tom Bombadil'.
Eldest, that's what I am. Mark my words, my friends: Tom was here before the river and the trees; Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the Big People, and saw the Little People arriving. He was here before the Kings and the graves and the Barrow-wights. When the Elves passed westward, Tom was here already, before the seas were bent. He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless - before the Dark Lord came from Outside.
The Lord of the Rings
Tom Bombadil, Chapter 'In the House of Tom Bombadil'.
There is a seed of courage hidden (often deeply, it is true) in the heart of the fattest and most timid hobbit, waiting for some final and desperate danger to make it grow.
The Lord of the Rings
Chapter 'Fog on the Barrow-Downs'.
Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow,
Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow.
None has ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the master:
His songs are stronger songs, and his feet are faster.
The Lord of the Rings
Tom Bombadil song in which Tom helps the hobbits once again, Chapter 'Fog on the Barrow-Downs'.
Hey! now! Come hoy now! Whither do you wander?
Up, down, near or far, here, there or yonder?
Sharp-ears, Wise-nose, Swish-tail and Bumpkin,
White-socks my little lad, and old Fatty Lumpkin!
The Lord of the Rings
Tom Bombadil song calling on the hobbits to follow him as he runs down the hills, Chapter 'Fog on the Barrow-Downs'.
Tom's country ends here: he will not pass the borders.
Tom has his house to mind, and Goldberry is waiting!
The Lord of the Rings
Tom Bombadil laughs and sings this to the hobbits after they beg for him to come with them to Bree, Chapter 'Fog on the Barrow-Downs'.
There is an inn, a merry old inn
beneath an old grey hill,
And there they brew a beer so brown
That the Man in the Moon himself came down
one night to drink his fill.
The Lord of the Rings
Having reached Bree and settled into the inn, Frodo sings this song by Bilbo to the hobbits, Chapter 'At the Sign of the Prancing Pony'.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
The Lord of the Rings
The Riddle of Strider, a poem contained in a letter from Gandalf which the innkeeper gives to Frodo, Chapter 'Strider'.
Gil-galad was an Elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea.
The Lord of the Rings
The Fall of Gil-galad poem spoken by Sam, Chapter 'A Knife in the Dark'.
Troll sat alone on his seat of stone,
And munched and mumbled a bare old bone;
For many a year he had gnawed it near,
For meat was hard to come by.
Done by! Gum by!
The Lord of the Rings
Rhyme of the Troll sung by Sam, Chapter 'Flight to the Ford'.
The Lord of the Rings
Farewell speech of Bilbo Baggins, Chapter 'A Long-Expected Party'.
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began,
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many path and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
The Lord of the Rings
The Old Walking Song sung by Bilbo Baggins, Chapter 'A Long-Expected Party'.
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
The Lord of the Rings
Verse of the Ring, quoted by Gandalf, two lines of which are inscribed on Bilbo Baggins' ring, identifying it as the One Ring, Chapter 'The Shadow of the Past'.
"Always after a defeat and a respite, the Shadow takes another shape and grows again."
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
The Lord of the Rings
Gandalf and Frodo Baggins, Chapter 'The Shadow of the Past'.
"What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature, when he had a chance!"
"Pity? It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without need. And he has been well rewarded, Frodo. Be sure that he took so little hurt from the evil, and escaped in the end, because he began his ownership of the Ring so. With Pity."
The Lord of the Rings
Frodo and Gandalf on the betrayer Gollum, Chapter 'The Shadow of the Past'.
"He deserves death."
"Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it. And he is bound up with the fate of the Ring. My heart tells me that he has some part to play yet, or good or Ill, before the end; and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many - yours not least."
The Lord of the Rings
Frodo and Gandalf discussing the fate of the betrayer Gollum, Chapter 'The Shadow of the Past'.
"You say the ring is dangerous, far more dangerous than I guess. In what way?"
"In many ways. It is far more powerful than I ever dared to think at first, so powerful that in the end it would utterly overcome anyone of mortal race who possessed it. It would possess him."
The Lord of the Rings
Frodo and Gandalf, Chapter 'The Shadow of the Past'.
He used often to say there was only one Road; that it was like a great river: it's springs were at every doorstep and every path was it's tributary. "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door," he used to say. "You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no telling where you might be swept off to."

"But it is not your own Shire," said Gildor. "Others dwelt here before hobbits were; and others will dwell here again when hobbits are no more. The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out."
The Lord of the Rings
Gildor to Frodo, Chapter 'Three is Company'.

"They seem a bit above my likes and dislikes, so to speak," answered Sam slowly. "It don't seem to matter what I think about them. They are quite different from what I expected — so old and young, and so gay and sad, as it were."
The Lord of the Rings
Sam speaking of the Elves, Chapter 'A Short Cut to Mushrooms'.
Sing hey! For the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is a noble thing!
The Lord of the Rings
One of Bilbo's favorite bath songs sung by the hobbits after arriving at Frodo's new house in Buckland, Chapter 'A Conspiracy Unmasked'.
O! Wanderers in the shadowed land
despair not! For though dark they stand,
all woods there be must end at last,
and see the open sun go past:
the setting sun, the rising sun,
the day's end, or the day begun.
For east or west all woods must fail...
The Lord of the Rings
Song in the Woods sun by Frodo as the four hobbits walk through the Old Forest, Chapter 'The Old Forest'.
O slender as a willow-wand! O clearer than clear water!
O reed by the living pool! Fair River-daughter!
O spring-time and summer-time, and spring again after!
O wind on the waterfall, and the leaves' laughter!
The Lord of the Rings
Song to Lady Goldberry, Tom Bombadil's wife, by Frodo, Chapter 'In the House of Tom Bombadil'.
Eldest, that's what I am. Mark my words, my friends: Tom was here before the river and the trees; Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the Big People, and saw the Little People arriving. He was here before the Kings and the graves and the Barrow-wights. When the Elves passed westward, Tom was here already, before the seas were bent. He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless - before the Dark Lord came from Outside.
The Lord of the Rings
Tom Bombadil, Chapter 'In the House of Tom Bombadil'.
There is a seed of courage hidden (often deeply, it is true) in the heart of the fattest and most timid hobbit, waiting for some final and desperate danger to make it grow.
The Lord of the Rings
Chapter 'Fog on the Barrow-Downs'.
Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow,
Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow.
None has ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the master:
His songs are stronger songs, and his feet are faster.
The Lord of the Rings
Tom Bombadil song in which Tom helps the hobbits once again, Chapter 'Fog on the Barrow-Downs'.
Hey! now! Come hoy now! Whither do you wander?
Up, down, near or far, here, there or yonder?
Sharp-ears, Wise-nose, Swish-tail and Bumpkin,
White-socks my little lad, and old Fatty Lumpkin!
The Lord of the Rings
Tom Bombadil song calling on the hobbits to follow him as he runs down the hills, Chapter 'Fog on the Barrow-Downs'.
Tom's country ends here: he will not pass the borders.
Tom has his house to mind, and Goldberry is waiting!
The Lord of the Rings
Tom Bombadil laughs and sings this to the hobbits after they beg for him to come with them to Bree, Chapter 'Fog on the Barrow-Downs'.
There is an inn, a merry old inn
beneath an old grey hill,
And there they brew a beer so brown
That the Man in the Moon himself came down
one night to drink his fill.
The Lord of the Rings
Having reached Bree and settled into the inn, Frodo sings this song by Bilbo to the hobbits, Chapter 'At the Sign of the Prancing Pony'.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
The Lord of the Rings
The Riddle of Strider, a poem contained in a letter from Gandalf which the innkeeper gives to Frodo, Chapter 'Strider'.
Gil-galad was an Elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea.
The Lord of the Rings
The Fall of Gil-galad poem spoken by Sam, Chapter 'A Knife in the Dark'.
Troll sat alone on his seat of stone,
And munched and mumbled a bare old bone;
For many a year he had gnawed it near,
For meat was hard to come by.
Done by! Gum by!
The Lord of the Rings
Rhyme of the Troll sung by Sam, Chapter 'Flight to the Ford'.
