Джоан Роулинг — HARRY POTTER and the Half-Blood Prince

Гарри Поттер — 6

  “It was nearing midnight and the Prime Minister was sitting alone in his office, reading a long memo that was slipping through his brain without leaving the slightest trace of meaning behind. ...

&  "I don't mean to be rude -" he began, in a tone that threatened rudeness in every syllable.
   "-yet, sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often," Dumbledore finished the sentence gravely. "Best to say nothing at all, my dear man. ..."

&  "Dumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right"...

&  "Do you remember me telling you we are practicing nonverbal spells, Potter?"
   "Yes," said Harry stiffly.
   "Yes, sir."
   "There's no need to call me 'sir,' Professor."

&  "Ah, Harry, how often this happens, even between the best of friends! Each of us believes that what he has to say is much more important than anything the other might have to contribute!"

---

&  "Greatness inspires envy, envy engenders spite, spite spawns lies. ..."

&  "...Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back! ..."

&  "You see, the prophecy does not mean you have to do anything! But the prophecy caused Lord Voldemort to mark you as his equal. ... In other words, you are free to choose your way, quite free to turn your back on the prophecy! But Voldemort continues to set store by the prophecy. He will continue to hunt you . . . which makes it certain, really, that -"
   "That one of us is going to end up killing the other," said Harry. "Yes."
    But he understood at last what Dumbledore had been trying to tell him. 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.

&  "... Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth. ..."

&  "There is nothing to be feared from a body, Harry, any more than there is anything to be feared from the darkness. Lord Voldemort, who of course secretly fears both, disagrees. But once again he reveals his own lack of wisdom. It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more."

  ... His hand closed automatically around the fake Horcrux, but in spite of everything, in spite of the dark and twisting path he saw stretching ahead for himself, in spite of the final meeting with Voldemort he knew must come, whether in a month, in a year, or in ten, he felt his heart lift at the thought that there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and Hermione.”
