Finally he closed the distance between us and kissed me - a sweet, gentle kiss that held within it every single one of the thousand days I'd loved him as my everything, long after I'd begun to love him as a friend.

Love is the way I feel for you, the way you fill something inside me whenever you so much as walk into the same room. Sometimes love is quite, lingering in the background until you least expect it. But love it always there for you

Being brave doesn't mean never being afraid, you know. It means going for it anyway because you know it's the right thing to do.

Sadness doesn't equal weakness, sweetheart. If anything, it shows the love you have inside of you, and nothing stronger in this world exists.

It hurts being the one who loves more

It takes loneliness in oneself to recognize it in another.

I care, he said in a trembling voice. I care so much that I do not know how to tell you without it seeming inconsequential compared to how I feel. Even if I am distant at times and seem as if I do not want to be with you, it is only because this scares me, too.

But the world is out there, and it understands that the illusion of knowledge and freedom is not the same as the real thing. Eventually it will fade, and there are those who will do whatever it takes to make that happen sooner rather than later.

Keep trying until you have no more chances left.

Sometimes we misjudge what is possible and what is not.

It's frightening how much things change in seventy-one years.

Harry Potter changed my life in more ways than one, and it helped me get through my mothers death.

The afterlife is whatever a soul wishes or believes it to be.

Whatever obstacles you face, remember you can get through anything if you want to badly enough.
