“Daddy claims the Hogwarts houses are really gangs. They have their own colors, their own hideouts, and they are always riding for each other, like gangs. Harry, Ron, and Hermione never snitch on one another, just like gangbangers. Death Eaters even have matching tattoos. And look at Voldemort. They’re scared to say his name. Really, that “He Who Must Not Be Named” stuff is like giving him a street name. That’s some gangbanging shit right there.”
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

“Be good, be honest and fair, find something I believe in, work hard and keep the faith no matter how long it takes?”
― Dave Pelzer, A Man Named Dave

“As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation -- either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

“At its most elemental, a spell is no more than a recipe for change.”
― Gregory Maguire, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
