Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets  - Quotes

 
[deleted scene; the students are unaware that Harry is listening from behind the wall]
Ernie MacMillan:
So anyway, I told Justin to hide up in our dormitory. I mean to say, if Potter's marked him down as his next victim, it's best he keeps a low profile for awhile.
Hannah Abbott:
But why would he want to attack Justin?
Ernie MacMillan:
Well, Justin let it slip to Potter that he was Muggle-born.
Hannah Abbott:
And you definitely think Potter's the Heir of Slytherin?
Ernie MacMillan:
Hannah, he's a Parselmouth. Everyone knows that's the mark of a dark wizard. Have you ever heard of a decent one who can talk to snakes? They called Slytherin himself "Serpent Tongue".
Hannah Abbott:
Harry always seemed so nice, though. And after all, he is the one who made You-Know-Who disappear.
Ernie MacMillan:
That's probably why You-Know-Who wanted to kill him in the first place. Didn't want another Dark Lord competing with him.

Lloyd Alexander  - Quotes

 You must know nothing before you can learn something, and be empty before you can be filled. Is not the emptiness of the bowl what makes it useful? As for laws, a parrot can repeat them word for word. Their spirit is something else again. As for governing, one must first be lowest before being highest.

Paul Simon  - Quotes

 I have squandered my resistance

D.J.:
There - I think that says "ex inferis." "Save yourself... from hell." Look, if what Doctor Weir tells us is true, this ship has been beyond the boundaries of our universe, of known scientific reality. Who knows where it's been, what it's seen. Or what it's brought back with it.
Miller:
From hell.

Hey, listen to this. The other day I was driving down the highway, had the air-conditioner on, smoking my stogies, listening to some tunes, and this big fat crow lands on a billboard. Biggest, fattest crow I ever saw in my life. And I fix on him, and he dropped dead - boom, in the sand. Damndest thing I ever saw. Kind of made me sick. In fact, it made me poop. It made me poop my pants. It was about a four-inch, bell-shaped fece, very hard, very firm. Things haven't been going too good for me.
