    Favourite quote of all time?
    What's everyone's favourite quote of all time? I think I'd have to say:

    'Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only one remebers to turn on the light.'
    - Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban.

    My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher.

    “Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.” - unknown

    ''When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn."
    - Harriet Beecher Stowe

    I love quotes on never giving up, because it helped me when i felt there was no hope.

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

    OH! Edit. Another Dumbledore one (Plus, well...everything Dumbledore has ever said )
    Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?

    "Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. ...voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

    This isn't a war. A war is between men and maggots, or dragons and wolves. OR men riding dragons throwing wolves at maggots.
