MINERVA MCGONAGALL

“No story lives unless someone wants to listen. The stories we love best do live in us forever. So whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.”

"Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it." 

I am what I am, an’ I’m not ashamed. ‘Never be ashamed,’ my old dad used to say, there’s some who’ll hold it against you, but they’re not worth bothering with.

“If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals”

"When in doubt, go to the library."

“It is impossible to manufacture or imitate love”

"Of course it's happening inside your head, Harry. Why should that mean that it's not real?"

"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only one remembers to turn on the light." 

“Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect”

"We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving."

“Books! And cleverness! There are more important things! — Friendship! And Bravery!”
