And these declarations he repeated to me the oftener and the more pointedly.”

“He abierto el cuaderno un par de veces, pero no me atrevo a comenzarlo. Es demasiado bueno y temo no estar a la altura. Me ocurre lo mismo con todos los cuadernos que compro. Al final acaban en un cajón muy profundo que tengo en mi estudio, como una especie de colección de obras completas inversas. Allí está todo lo que no he sido capaz de escribir. Novelas que nunca verán la luz, cuentos nonatos, poemas invisibles. Ahí se encuentra lo mejor de mí, aquello en lo que puse más empeño, la sintaxis en la que más arriesgué. Los cuento: hay treinta y cinco, tantos como libros llevo publicados.”

His heart is utterly non violent, yet he plunges into the fire and fury of violence when it becomes unavoidable. He accepts the nectar, and yet he is not afraid of poison.”

“He accumulates wealth in solitude, thinking: how strong, how secure I am now; and does not see, madman as he is, that the more he accumulates, the more he sinks into suicidal impotence. For he is accustomed to relying only on himself, he has separated his unit from the whole, he has accustomed his soul to not believing in people's help, in people or in mankind, and now only trembles lest his money and his acquired privileges perish. Everywhere now the human mind has begun laughably not to understand that a man's true security lies not in his own solitary effort, but in the general wholeness of humanity. But there must needs come a term to this horrible isolation, and everyone will all at once realize how unnaturally they have separated themselves from one another.”

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

“He acts like an animal, has an animal's habits! Eats like one, moves like one, talks like one! There's even something -sub-human -something not quite to the stage of humanity yet!

And you - you here - waiting for him! Maybe he'll strike you or maybe grunt and kiss you! That is, if kisses have been discovered yet! Night falls and the other apes gather! There in the front of the cave, all grunting like him, and swilling and gnawing and hulking! His poker night! - you call it - this party of apes! Somebody growls - some creature snatches at something - the fight is on! God! Maybe we are a long way from beng made in God's image, but Stella - my sister - there has been some progress since then! Such things as art - as poetry and music - such kinds of new light have come into the world since then! In some kinds of people some tendered feelings have had some little beginning! That we have got to make grow! And cling to, and hold as our flag! In this dark march towards what-ever it is we're approaching . . . Don't - don't hang back with the brutes!”
