“What
Is Love? I have met in the streets a very poor young man who was in love. His
hat was old, his coat worn, the water passed through his shoes and the stars
through his soul”

“Well,
now
If
little by little you stop loving me
I
shall stop loving you
Little
by little
If
suddenly you forget me
Do
not look for me
For
I shall already have forgotten you
If
you think it long and mad the wind of banners that passes through my life
And
you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots
Remember
That
on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms
And
my roots will set off to seek another land”

“We
have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the
people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own
pursuits of people to love us, people that don't even matter, while all that
time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and
watch us beg in the streets! It's time to put an end to this. It's time for us
to let ourselves be loved.”

“If
she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's
worth it, you wont give up. If you give up, you're not worthy. ... Truth is,
everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering
for.”

“It
isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute
love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by
experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.”

“We
are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we
shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company,
we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but
essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so
important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the
hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”

“There
was a clatter as the basilisk fangs cascaded out of Hermione's arms. Running at
Ron, she flung them around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth. Ron threw
away the fangs and broomstick he was holding and responded with such enthusiasm
that he lifted Hermione off her feet.
"Is
this the moment?" Harry asked weakly, and when nothing happened except
that Ron and Hermione gripped each other still more firmly and swayed on the
spot, he raised his voice. "OI! There's a war going on here!"
Ron
and Hermione broke apart, their arms still around each other.
"I
know, mate," said Ron, who looked as though he had recently been hit on
the back of the head with a Bludger, "so it's now or never, isn't
it?"
"Never
mind that, what about the Horcrux?" Harry shouted. "D'you think you
could just --- just hold it in, until we've got the diadem?"
"Yeah
--- right --- sorry ---" said Ron, and he and Hermione set about gathering
up fangs, both pink in the face.”
