Quote by J.K. Rowling

“The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didn’t think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley’s sister, but they hadn’t met for several years; in fact, Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn’t have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be.”

“She was a very pretty woman. She had dark red hair and her eyes - her eyes are just like mine, Harry thought, edging a little closer to the glass. Bright green - exactly the same shape, but then he noticed that she was crying; smiling, but crying at the same time. The tall, thin, black-haired man standing next to her put his arm around her. He wore glasses, and his hair was very untidy. It stuck up at the back, just like Harry's did.”

“Ankh-Morpork is a godless city--' 'I thought it had more than three hundred places of worship?' said Maladict. Strappi stared at him in rage that was incoherent until he managed to touch bottom again. 'Ankh-Morpork is a godawful city', he recovered.”

“If I shut up, it’s just to avoid being confronted by violence. Is it cowardice? Perhaps. I prefer to see it as a kind of necessary self-protection. But I will never change. I will never think: It’s bad, or It would be better to be like everyone else, or I will lie to them so that they’ll accept me. Never. I stick to who I am. In silence, of course, but it’s a proud, stubborn silence.”

“J'étais si heureux de sentir mon cœur capable d'un amour nouveau !... J'empruntais, dans cet enthousiasme factice, les formules mêmes qui, si peu de temps auparavant, m'avaient servi pour peindre un amour véritable et longtemps éprouvé. La lettre partie, j'aurais voulu la retenir, et j'allais rêver dans la solitude à ce qui me semblait une profanation de mes souvenirs.”

“C'est un noeuf douloureux et exalté, mille chose s'y mêlent. Alors j'attends que cela cesse. C'est ce que je fais toujours, d'ailleurs et j'ai tort de te dire tout cela. Mais à qui le dirais-je, dans le monde entier. Je t'attends, j'attends l'apaisement du soir, j'attends notre heure, la lumière oblique, cette pause entre le jour et la nuit. La paix viendra, sûrement. Mais je n'imagine pas d'autre paix que celle de nos deux corps liés, de nos regards livrés l'un à l'autre - le n'ai plus d'autre patrie que toi. Attends-moi, mon chéri. Écris-moi, écris tout ce que tu peux. Tant de mers me séparent de toi. Où te chercher ? Où t'atteindre ? Comment fuérir sans toi la peine qui m'étouffe ? Je t'embrasse, mon seul amour, je te serre contre moi. Les jours passent, mais si lentement, comme des nuits d'insomnie, et je ne peux plus me supporter. Écris.”
