Well, if you don't like something, you don't like it, and there's no
arguing about it -- but I submit that kids *and* adults could learn a lot
worse:

"It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as
much to stand up to our friends. I therefore award ten points to Mr.
Neville Longbottom."
--Professor Dumbledore in J. K. Rowling, _Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's
[Philosopher's] Stone_, New York: Scholastic Press, 1998, p. 306.

"It is our choices, Harry, that show us what we truly are, far more than
our abilities."
--Professor Dumbledore in J. K. Rowling, _Harry Potter and the Chamber of
Secrets_, New York: Scholastic Press, 1999, p. 333.
