You sort of start thinking anything's possible if you've got enough nerve.
  - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

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.

Dumbledore to Harry, talking about Sirius's treatment of Kreacher.

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.
  - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Dumbledore to Harry.

An invisible barrier separated him from the rest of the world. He was - he had always been a marked man.

We must try not to sink beneath our anguish, Harry, but battle on.
  - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Spoken by Albus Dumbledore.

It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew - and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents - that there was all the difference in the world.
  - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.
