I love noting down words in a book that deeply affect me or are interesting in some way. The following are from J.K.Rowling 's Harry Potter books.
Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire
~ It is a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up.
~ It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.
Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone
~ The truth - It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with caution.
~ To the well-organised mind, death is but the next great adventure.
~ Money and Life – the two things most human beings would choose above all – the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things which are the worst for them.
~ Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.
And my absolute favourite:

And my absolute favourite:
Love as powerful as your mother’s for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign…to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever. It is in your very skin…It was agony to touch a person marked by something so good.
