"You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? You think that we don't recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble? Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself plainly when you have need of him." ( Professor Dumbledore, vol. 3, p. 427)
" It was even a relief: he felt almost as though something poisonous were being extracted from him. It was costing him every bit of determination he had to keep talking, yet he sensed that once he had finished, he would feel better." (Harry to Dumbledore and Sirius. vol. 4, p. 695)
"You place too much importance, .....on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!" (Dumbledore to Cornelius Fudge, vol. 4, p. 708)
"....we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. Lord Voldemort's gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust. Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open." (Dumbledore to Hogwart's students, vol. 4, p. 723).
"Remember my last, Petunia." A howler sent to Petunia by Dumbledore to change her mind about making Harry leave. (vol 5, p. 40)

"What's he after apart from followers? stuff he can only get by stealth....like a weapon. Something he didn't have last time.
I'm the weapon, Harry thought. I did attack Mr. Weasley last night, it was me; Voldemort made me do it and he could be inside me, listening to my thoughts right now...."(Harry worries that he's posessed by Voldemort vol. 5, p. 492)
Dumbledore's theory about Voldemort creating his worst enemy when he killed Harry's parents. (vol. 6, p. 510)

It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more." (vol. 6, p. 566)
"The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by an invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing....." (Said by Snape to Harry Potter at the beginning of his Occlumency class. vol. 5, p. 530)
"You know, minister, I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts....but you cannot deny he's got style......" (Said by Phineas Nigellus to the Minister of Magic. vol. 5, p. 623)
"The usual rules do not seem to apply with you, Potter. The curse that failed to kill you seems to have forged some kind of connection between you and the Dark Lord. The evidence suggests that at times when your mind is most relaxed and vulnerable - when you are asleep for instance - you are sharing the Dark Lord's thoughts and emotions. The Headmaster thinks it inadvisable for this to continue." (Said by Snape to Harry at the start of his Occlumency lessons. vol. 5, p. 531)

"There is no shame in what you're feeling. Harry.......On the contrary,....the fact that you can feel pain like this is your greatest strength." (Dumbledore to Harry as he struggles with grief and anger over Sirius's death. (vol. 5, p. 823)
"I DON'T CARE! I'VE HAD ENOUGH, I'V'E SEEN ENOUGH, ......I WANT IT TO END, " (Harry screams at Dumbledore). Dumbledore responds, " You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it."
" You have lost your mother, your father, and the closest thing to a parent you have ever known. Of course you care." (vol. 5, p. 824)

" You would be protected by an ancient magic....which he despises. I am speaking of course, of the fact that your mother died to save you. She gave you a lingering protection he never expected, a protection that flows in your veins to this day........Your mother's sacrifice made the bond of blood the strongest shield I could give you." (Dumbledore to Harry. vol. 5, p. 836)
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches....Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not........and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives. (Professor Trelawney by way of the Pensieve. vol. 5, p. 841)
"He chose the boy he thought most likely to be a danger to him, .....and notice this, Harry. He chose, not the pureblood (which according to his creed, is the only kind of wizard worth being or knowing), but the half-blood, like himself. He saw himself in you before he had ever seen you, and in marking you with that scar, he did not kill you, as he intended, but gave you powers, and a future, which have fitted you to escape him not once, but four times so far........." (Dumbledore to Harry. vol. 5, p. 842)
"He was not ready to see their expressions when he told them that he must be either murderer or victim, there was no other way..." (Harry doesn't want to tell Hermione and Ron about what he has discovered. vol. 5, p. 849)
"An invisible barrier separated him from the rest of the world. He was - he had always been a marked man." (vol. 5, p. 855)
