Søsteren min smører melis
på munnen sin
smører seg helt inn,
smører melis
over magen og helt ned til knærne,
til og med føttene er dekket av melis.
Syns du jeg er søt, sier hun
og holder hendene sine fram,
så jeg får smake.

"En nyhetsartikkel informerer om et ektepar som avslører en innbruddstyv når mannen forteller kona en vits og de hører noen le i overetasjen".

"Sjøormen er sjelden å se. Den er en skapning fra de store dyp. Havet er lukket for innsyn, i motsetning til den klare luften. Hva kan ikke finnes der i dypet?"

Ikke la krigen fordobles i deg, fortsatte farmor insisterende, la borgerkrigen i hodet ende i fred.

We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.

~Dumbledore.

A thousand years or more ago,
When I was newly sewn,
There lived four wizards of renown,
Whose names are still well known:
Bold Gryffindor, from wild moor,
Fair Ravenclaw, from glen,
Sweet Hufflepuff, from valley broad,
Shrewd Slytherin from fen.
They shared a wish, a hope, a dream,
They hatched a daring plan
To educate young sorcerers
Thus Hogwarts School began.
Now each of these four founders
Formed their own house, for each
Did value different virtues
In the ones they had to teach.
By Gryffindor, the bravest were
Prized far beyond the rest;
For Ravenclaw the cleverest
Would always be the best;
For Hufflepuff, hard workers were
Most worthy of admission;
And power-hungry Slytherin
Loved those of great ambition.
While still alive they did divide
Their favorites from the throng,
Yet how to pick the worthy ones
When they were dead and gone?
'Twas Gryffindor who found the way,
He whipped me off his head
The founders put som brains in me
So I could choose instead!
Now slip me snug about your ears,
I've never yet been wrong,
I'll have a look inside your mind
And tell where you belong!

Når våren kommer, smelter snøen ett fnugg om gangen.

To know the terrain you have to travel by road, not by air.

In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

I sometimes amuse myself with suggesting and arranging such little elegant compliments as may be adapted to ordinary occasions.

They walked on, without knowing in what direction. There was too much to be thought, and felt, and said, for attention to any other objects.

Oh, Mr. Bennet! Have some compassion on my poor nerves!

She is tolerable, I suppose, but not handsome enough to tempt me

From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do.

I told him I went to school in Brooklyn and he said he didn't know where that was because he wasn't "so good at geometry".

Og Gandalv sa: "Mange folk liker å vite på forhånd hva som blir satt frem på bordet; men de som har slitt for å forberede gildet, liker å holde på hemmeligheten sin; for overraskelsen får lovordene til å klinge høyere".

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

The only thing you have to decide is what to do with time that is given to you.

Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.
