“Love

Thinking, thinking thus,
loving thus, there is no sleep,
I see him, we meet,
to be woken from that dream
that is suffering indeed.”
― Michitsuna no Haha, The Gossamer Years: The Diary of a Noblewoman of Heian Japan

“What have you been doing to that book, you depraved boy?'
'It isn't the library's, it's mine!' said Harry hastily, snatching his copy of Advanced Potion-Making off the table as she lunged at it with a clawlike hand.
'Despoiled!' she hissed. 'Desecrated! Befouled!'
'It's just a book that's been written in!' said Harry, tugging it out of her grip.
She looked as though she might have a seizure; Hermione, who had hastily packed her things, grabbed Harry by the arm and frogmarched him away.
'She'll ban you from the library if you're not careful. Why did you have to bring that stupid book?'
'It's not my fault she's barking mad, Hermione. Or d'you think she overheard you being rude about Filch? I've always thought there might be something going on between them ...”

“Men in love have always liked to talk; women in love, on the other hand, don't want to talk, because they know, without even knowing that they know, that once a man really understands a woman he'll stop loving her.”

“You have not asked me, for instance, what is my favourite flavour of jam, to check that I am indeed Professor Dumbledore, and not an imposter.'
'I didn't ...' Harry began, not entirely sure whether he was being reprimanded or not.
'For future reference, Harry, it is raspberry ... although of course, if I were a Death Eater, I would have been sure to research my own jam-preferences before impersonating myself.”
