Narrator: The Forest has to come down, so the Warriors could move humanity forward in a civilized and forward-looking manner. The giants had to leave because they took up too much room. The sprites has to die because their habitats were needed to make all the THINGS that Warriors need.

Narrator: That was the sound of the new Iron Age ... The forest being burned down, so that the Warriors could build their forts and their fields and their new modern world. For the Warriors argued that the modern way was the right way.

Simenon: Why is the reality so different? Or rather, why do we give children the illusion of a world that doesn’t exist and which all their lives they will compare with the harsh reality?

Methinks upon rereading that it is a bit unbelievable that Dumbledore, who is supposed to be the smartest wizard of the Age, couldn't figure out what dark creature was loose in the school and then trace it back to its lair.

Why don’t Hermoine, Ron, and Harry just owl order the necessary potion ingredients from an apothecary?

Narrator: Nobody listens to babies even when they have something very important to say.

Caliburn: There are kind people in the world. You just have to find them.

Narrator: Twice, Wish and Xar have escaped the talons of the Witches. TWICE, they have cheated death. Can they be ... third time lucky?

A revenant! That's more like it!

I’ve finally finished reading all 50 books in the Mr Men series. I feel like I could write a PhD dissertation on them!

Feeling the Bern!

Bernie: The simple truth is trickledown economics is a fraudulent theory.

Dumbledore: The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.

Quirrell: There is no good and evil. There is only power and those too weak to seek it.

Why does Professor McGonagall act like four students out of bed after curfew is some extraordinary and rare event? Students run around in the middle of the night all the time.

I never made sense for Harry and Ron to lie about how they ended up confronting the troll. Even if they had said they went looking for Hermione to warn her about the troll, Professor McGonagall would have still reprimanded them for not telling a prefect and going themselves.

Hector to Ephyra: Who are you to decide who lives and who dies? How does a monster know who is and who is not her own kind?

Maigret: Once a crime is committed, nothing is straightforward anymore.

The storylines of Jude, Hassan, and Ephyra have all crossed.

Anton: When you kill someone as the Pale Hand, what happens?
Ephyra: I break in. Or sneak in. Make sure they're alone. Then I tell the poor bastard why I'm there.
Anton: You talk to them?
Ephyra: Everyone should have their last words.
Ned Stark: If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words.
