“En una sociedad democrática, muchas veces la libertad sufre a causa de quienes abusan de ella más que por las trabas legales impuestas a su ejercicio; aun así, sufre. A mi juicio, eso suele ocurrir porque las leyes o quienes obligan a ellas son demasiado permisivos y no castigan correctamente a los que violan los derechos ajenos. En un Estado totalitario, por su parte, la libertad sufre por la falta de su ejercicio, porque las leyes son restrictivas y los castigos severos, y las mismas autoridades limitan los derechos de los ciudadanos.”

“A couple moved off the dance floor, leaving just enough of a window for us to see clearly, Candace and Thea. My heart skipped at the sight of her. "Magnificent," I whispered. Heather looked at me from the corner of her eye. "What does that mean?" she asked. "She radiates it." I waved at the dance floor. "One way or another, she was meant to be a part of our world.”

“[Europeans lived] in dense, settled populations- cities- where human & animal waste breeds vermin, like mice and rats and roaches. Most of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, though, didn't live in dense settlements, and even those who lived in villages tended to move with the seasons, taking apart their towns and rebuilding them somewhere else. They didn't accumulate filth, and they didn't live crowds. They suffered from very few infectious diseases.”

“Fred and George, however, found all this very funny. They went out of their way to march ahead of Harry down the corridors, shouting, "Make way for the Heir of Slytherin, seriously evil wizard coming through ...... Percy was deeply disapproving of this behavior. "It is not a laughing matter," he said coldly. "Oh, get out of the way, Percy," said Fred. "Harry's in a hurry." "Yeah, he's off to the Chamber of Secrets for a cup of tea with his fanged servant," said George, chortling. Ginny didn't find it amusing either. "Oh, don't," she wailed every time Fred asked Harry loudly who he was planning to attack next, or when George pretended to ward Harry off with a large clove of garlic when they met.”
