Being nearly naked around Barrons felt a lot like going to a shark convention lightly basted in blood.

I was adrift in a sea of questions and if answers were lifeboats, I was in imminent danger of drowning.

I love books, by the way, way more than movies. Movies tell you what to think. A good book lets you choose a few thoughts for yourself. Movies show you the pink house. A good book tells you there's a pink house and lets you paint some of the finishing touches, maybe choose the roof style,park your own car out front. My imagination has always topped anything a movie could come up with. Case in point, those darned Harry Potter movies. That was so not what that part-Veela-chick, Fleur Delacour, looked like.

Don't lose yourself to anger. It's gasoline. You can burn it as fuel, or you can use it to torch everything you care about and end up standing on a scorched battlefield, with everybody dead, even you-only your body doesn't have the good grace to quit breathing

Grief shared was grief lessened.

Caring is love. And love fights! Love doesn't look for the path of least resistance.

Kid, you might just annoy me into killing you.
