No man is brave that has never walked a hundred miles. If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet introspection.

Kvothe in The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss.

It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think. If you give a man an answer, all he gains is a little fact. But give him a question and he'll look for his own answers. That way, when he finds the answers, they'll be precious to him. The harder the question, the harder we hunt. The harder we hunt, the more we learn.

As a side note, don't you think everyone should have to come out? Why is straight the default? Everyone should have to declare one way or another, and it should be this big awkward thing whether you're straight, gay, bi, or whatever. I'm just saying.

The first joke of Narnia

The Jackdaw said: "Aslan! Aslan! Have I made the first joke? Will everybody always be told how I made the first joke?"

"No, little friend," said the Lion. "You have not made the first joke; you have only been the first joke."

The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis

when we are children we seldom think of the future. this innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. the day we fret about our future is the day we leave our childhood behind.

You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.

bye umbridge.

professor umbridge left hogwarts on the day before the end of term. it seemed that she had crept out of the hospital wing during dinnertime, evidently hoping to depart undetected, but unfortunately for her, she met peeves on the way, who seized his last chance to do as fred had instructed and chased her gleefully from the premises, whacking her alternately with a walking stick and a sock full of chalk. many students ran out into the entrance hall to watch her running away down the path, and the heads of houses tried only halfheartedly to restrain their pupils. indeed, professor mcgonagall sank back into her chair at the staff table after a few remonstrances and was clearly heard to express a regret that she could not run cheering after umbridge herself, because peeves had borrowed her walking stick.

“ i feel i owe you another explanation, harry,” said dumbledore hesitantly. “you may, perhaps, have wondered why i never chose you as a prefect? i must confess . . . that i rather thought . . . you had enough responsibility to be going on with.”

harry looked up at him and saw a tear trickling down dumbledore's face into his long sliver beard.

the one with the power to vanquish the dark lord approaches … born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies … and the dark lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the dark lord knows not … and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives … the one with the power to vanquish the dark lord will be born as the seventh month dies …
