J.K. Rowling
“But he understood at last what Dumbledore had been trying to tell him. It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew — and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents — that there was all the difference in the world.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

M.L. Stedman
“We live with the decisions we make, Bill. That’s what bravery is. Standing by the consequences of your mistakes.”
M.L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans

Marilynne Robinson
“There's a pattern in these Commandments of setting things apart so their holiness will be perceived. Every day is holy, but the Sabbath is set apart so that the holiness of time can be experienced. Every human being is worthy of honor, but the conscious discipline of honor is learned from this setting apart of Mother and Father.”
Marilynne Robinson

Gary D. Schmidt
“When you find something that’s whole, you do what you can to keep it that way. And when you find something that isn’t, then maybe it’s not a bad idea to try to make it whole again. Maybe.”
Gary D. Schmidt, Okay for Now

J.K. Rowling
“Really Hagrid, if you are holding out for universal popularity, I'm afraid you will be in this cabin for a very long time”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
