Wise words

Wise words from some wise characters


"Indeed, your failure to understand that there are things much worse than death has always been your greatest weakness." -Albus Dumbeldore


"The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by an invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing." -Severus Snape

“Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.” ― Veronica Roth, Divergent


"Great actions come from noble thoughts, yes, but true greatness and power come from deep and true emotions, unclouded by doubt or shame" --Kaden (Heirs of a Broken land series, book one, Princess of Light *Marie Bilodeau*)
