J.K. Rowling
“Don’t get smart - you two are in a heap of trouble!” snarled Anderson. “Names!”
“Names?” repeated the long-haired driver. “Er — well, let’s see. There’s Wilberforce . . . Bathsheba . . . Elvendork . . .”
“And what’s nice about that one is, you can use it for a boy or a girl,” said the boy in glasses.

“Things’ll be seriously black for you in a minute, you cheeky little —”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter: The Prequel

“If you act for self-gain then no good can come of it. If you act selflessly, then you act well for all and you must not be afraid.”
