7 Dumbledore Quotes To Live By
Metro Vinyl

In honor of the 20th anniversary of the beginning of Harry Potter, it is only fitting to write an article with a quote from the greatest man, Albus Dumbledore. There are 7 books, so there are 7 quotes. If you are a true Harry Potter fan you will know that yes Snape killed Dumledore in "The Half-Blood Prince", BUT at the end of "The Deathly Hallows" Harry has an interaction with Dumbledore after he let Voldemort kill the Horcurx inside of him. "Harry Potter and...

1. The Philosophers Stone"

On page 306 Dumbledore says "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to out enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends."

Neville was the quiet, awkward kid of the group, but he still found the courage to stand up to his friends. We all need to be more like Neville when our friends are making some of the wrong decisions and stand up to them to try and change their course of action.


2. The Chamber of Secrets"

"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities," page 333.

One needs to be mindful of their choices because that shows more of our character than anything else in the world.


3. The Prisoner of Azkaban"

On page 426 Dumbledore says, "The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is very difficult business indeed."

We need to be aware of the consequences our actions can have, good and bad. If we are aware of these consequences than we can better our future.


4. The Goblet of Fire"

"Curiosity is not a sin, but we should exercise caution with our curiosity," page 598.

It is normal for one to be curious, but it is when that curiosity puts one in danger is when it becomes a problem. One must always assess if it is truly worth being curious about.


5. The Order of The Phoenix"

On page 826 it says "youth cannot know what age thinks and feels."

Those of age have experienced far more than youth. Those of youth need to stop assuming they know everything and take lessons from those who have been through it.


6. The Half-Blood Prince"

"You are free to choose your way, quite free to turn your back on the prophecy," page 512

Harry did not have to follow what the prophecy told him would happen and what was needed to be done. Even if life seems predetermined, you always have a choice to go your own way.

7. The Deathly Hallows"

"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love," page 722.

The reason we should be pitying the living is because they still have to live in a world of suffering, where the dead are at peace.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
