Hermione: This is a time turner, Harry. McGonagall gave it to me first term. This is how I've been getting to my lessons all year. Harry: You mean we've gone back in time? Hermione: Yes. Dumbledore obviously wanted us to return to this moment. Clearl...
Cornelius Fudge: [just after Buckbeak's escape] We must search the grounds! Dumbledore: Search the *skies* if you must, Minister, but now I think I'll have a nice cup of tea, or a large brandy. Oh, and executioner, your services are no longer require...
[Hermione looks at Ron's broken leg, and they flirt by mimicking Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson] Hermione: Ow! That looks really painful. Ron: It's sorta painful. They uh, they might... chop it. Hermione: I'm sure Madame Pomfrey will fix it in a heartbea...
Ron: Let me get this strait. Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban to come after you? Harry: Yeah. Hermione: But they'll catch Black, won't they? I mean, everyone's looking for him. Ron: Sure. Except no one's ever broken out of Azkaban before, and he...
Professor Lupin: Why do you look so miserable, Harry? Harry: None of it made any difference. Pettigrew escaped. Professor Lupin: Didn't make any difference? Harry, it made all the difference in the world! You helped discover the truth. You saved an i...
Harry: You were right, Hermione! It wasn't my dad I saw earlier! It was me! I saw myself conjuring the patronus before! I knew I could do it this time, because... well, because I'd already done it! Does that make sense? Hermione: No! But I DON'T LIKE...
Harry: What happened to me? Ron: Well, you sort of went rigid. We thought maybe you were having a fit or something. Harry: And did either of you two, you know, pass out? Ron: No... I felt weird though, like I'd never be cheerful again. Harry: But som...
T.E. Lawrence: No, they're still there, but they've no boots. Prisoners, sir. We took them prisoners; the entire garrison. No, that's not true. We killed some; too many really. I'll manage it better next time. There's been a lot of killing, one way o...
Reginald Fleming 'R.J.' Johnston: The Emperor has been a prisoner in his own palace since the day that he was crowned, and has remained a prisoner since he abdicated. But now he's growing up, he may wonder why he's the only person in China who may no...
I think if you say that art and politics, or religion and politics, mustn't mix, don't mix, that is itself a political statement. Even if you are writing a 19th-century novel where the money comes from a plantation in the Caribbean and you don't talk...
An important ethical function of identity politics, in this context, is to highlight that obstacles to the self-development of individuals, and to the formation and exercise of their agency, emerge in complex cultural and psychic forms, as well as th...
Politeness is okay, but it gets old and boring. You want to attack life with a passion, not a politeness, you want people to think about you and remember you and say "she is so passionate" you don't want people to think about you and remember you and...
If it wasn't for prison, I was in a bad way.
The best politics is no politics.
Kurti had believed in politics, and politics had deceived him, the way politics deceives everyone.
In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues....
Being politically correct means saying what's polite rather than what's accurate. I like to be accurate.
Politics is repetition. It is not change. Change is something beyond what we call politics. Change is the essence politics is supposed to be the means to bring into being.
Global warming is a political issue. It is as much a political issue to the left as abortion is. It's as big a political issue as health care is.
I engage with local politics because it affects people I love. And I engage in national politics because it affects people I love.
