“The people who move through the streets are all strangers. At each encounter, they imagine a thousand things about one another; meetings which could take place between them, conversations, surprises, caresses, bites. But no one greets anyone; eyes lock for a second, then dart away, seeking other eyes, never stopping...something runs among them, an exchange of glances like lines that connect one figure with another and draw arrows, stars, triangles, until all combinations are used up in a moment, and other characters come on to the scene.”

Fawkes the phoenix let out a low, soft, musical cry.

When Dumbledore spoke, however, his voice was quite steady. "I am very touched, Harry.”

Did our government conduct the Tuskegee with syphilis on black soldiers because it hated too much?”
