Dumbledore in the Great Hall
Albus Dumbledore they see a man with bright blue eyes, half-moon glasses
perched on a long crooked nose, a tall thin build, flowing robes, a
long silver beard tucked neatly into his belt, and a face lined with age
and wisdom. Within the magical world of Harry Potter, Albus Percival
Wulfic Brian Dumbledore is known for the greatness of his power and the
depth of his wisdom. Throughout J.K. Rowling's seven novels, Dumbledore
guides Harry, thwarts evil, and is a hero to many.
Furthermore, after revelations about Dumbledore's past that emerged in The Deathly Hallows, debates continue to rage over Dumbledore's motivations (but this is a discussion for another hub). Dumbledore polarizes fans, yet no matter one's personal feelings about this character, it is impossible not to admire the wisdom, wittiness, and insight that flow from his many quotes.
1. "After all to the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."
2. "Do not pity the dead Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love."
3. "Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open."
4. "It is a curious thing, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well."
5. "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."
6. "It is important to fight and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then can evil be kept at bay though never quite eradicated."
7. "Dark times lie ahead of us and there will be a time when we must choose between what is easy and what is right."
8. "It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
9. "Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."
10. "It's the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more."
