Quote by Lindy West

“...disband Slytherin! Why keep it? Do we need it? Why have one house that’s evil? Especially when your whole society is so scared of evil wizards they can’t even say one guy’s name out loud? Wizard hack: don’t send fully one-quarter of your children to Evil School, and maybe end up with 100 percent fewer evil wizards.”

“It matters', said Hermione, speaking at last in a hushed voice, 'because being able to talk to snakes was what Salazar Slytherin was famous for. That's why the symbol of Slytherin House is a serpent.' Harry's mouth fell open. 'Exactly' said Ron. 'And now the whole school's going to think you're his great-great-great-great-grandson or something -' 'But I'm not', said Harry, with a panic he couldn't quite explain.

“Toreros must also be accustom themselves to a career which will inevitably involve injury by goring: sometimes serious, if not grotesque, goring.

“The Waifs' Home was an old building which had apparently formerly been used for another purpose. It was located in the country opposite a great big dairy farm where hundreds of cows, bulls, calves and a few horses were standing. Some were eating, and prancing around like they wanted to tell somebody, anybody, how good they felt. . . .When I got out of the wagon with the other boys the first thing I noticed was several large trees standing before the building. A very lovely odor was swinging across my nostrils. "What flowers are those that smell so good?" I asked. "Honeysuckles," was the answer. I fell in love with them, and I'm ready to get a whiff of them any time.”

“He didn’t have the courage to wait until the old man finished praying. He had no idea how he should respond to the question he was certain would come from the man’s lips. Making a hasty sign of the cross, he placed his hand on the headstone—for the first and last time. Feeling something stronger and more meaningful than anything he had experienced before, he nodded goodbye to the old man and quickly walked toward the cemetery gate.”
