"The Stone was really not such a wonderful thing. As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would choose above all - the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them."

"Fear of a name increases fear of a thing itself."

"I believe your friends Misters Fred and George Weasley were responsible for trying to send you a toilet seat. No doubt they thought it would amuse you."

"I will only have truly left the school when none here are loyal to me."

"It is not our abilities that show who we truly are, it is our choices."

"[Richard] Harris's portrayal of Dumbledore showcased a gentle demeanour, complete with flowing locks of golden-white hair. However, when Gambon assumed the role, he brought his unique touch, donning distinct capes and infusing the character with an Irish flair, presenting Dumbledore as a figure of wisdom rather than just kindness."

"It's good that children's literature includes the reality of gay people, since we exist in every society. But many are disappointed that she did not make Dumbledore's sexuality explicit in the Harry Potter book. Many also agree that Making it obvious would have sent a much more powerful message of understanding and acceptance."

"I am not worried, Harry... I am with you."

"No, I was merely reading the Muggle magazines . . . I do love knitting patterns."

"It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more."

""By all means continue destroying my possessions,"

"There is a room in the Department of Mysteries,... that is kept locked at all times. It contains a force that is at once more wonderful and more terrible than death, than human intelligence, than forces of nature. It is also, perhaps, the most mysterious of the many subjects for study that resides there. It is the power held within that room that you possess in such quantities and which Voldemort has not at all. That power took you to save Sirius tonight. That power saved you from possession by Voldemort, because he could not bear to reside in a body so full of the force he detests. In the end, it mattered not that you could close your mind. It was your heart that saved you."

"Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young..."

"Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good and kind and brave because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort."

"Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open."

"No spell can reawaken the dead, Harry. I trust you know that."

"Oh yeah? WHAM!"

"You keep your hands to you, that's what you are!"

"Don't you DARE 'reproach' me!"

"Oh, Popeye!"

"I'll take you all on one at a time!"

"Where's the entrance to the exit?"

"A-gah-gah-gah-gah-gah-gah!"

"(Castor Oyl: Hey there, are you a sailor?) "Ja' think I'm a cowboy?""

"I yam what I yam and tha's all what I yam.""

"Well blow me down!"

"That's all I can stands, cuz I can't stands n'more!"

"I'm strong to the finach, 'cause I eats me Spinach, I'm Popeye the sailor man! (toot, toot)"

"Olive Oyl says that she don't want to be with no unedumacated ignoramousk. So I'll be an EDUMACATED ignoramousk! (and he enrolls)"

"I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."

"Let's you and him fight."

"Help, Popeye! Save me!"

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you."

"Into exile I must go. Failed I have."

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship."

"Twilight is upon me and soon night must fall. That is the way of things; the way of The Force."

"[strains to speak as voice gradually grows softer] Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware: Anger, fear, aggression - the dark side, are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. [Whispering now] Luke... Luke... do not... [struggles to speak] Do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor... or suffer your father's fate, you will. Luke... [Luke leans in close] ...when gone, am I, the last of the Jedi, will you be. Luke... the Force runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned. Luke... [with great effort] ...There... is... another... Sk... Sky... walker... [Yoda dies, then disappears into thin air]"

"Heeded my words not, did you? Pass on what you have learned. Strength, mastery, hmm... but weakness, folly, failure, also. Yes, failure, most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is. Luke... We are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters."

"Come, Watson, come!" he cried. "The game is afoot. Not a word! Into your clothes and come!"

"Perhaps, when a man has special knowledge and special powers like my own, it rather encourages him to seek a complex explanation when a simpler one is at hand."

"What I know is unofficial; what he knows is official."

"Now, Watson, the fair sex is your department."

"Only one important thing has happened in the last three days, and that is that nothing has happened."

"It is a capital mistake to theorise in advance of the facts."

""I am inclined to think -- " said I."

"What do you make of it, Holmes?" "It is obviously an attempt to convey secret information." "But what is the use of a cipher message without the cipher?"
