1 " Albus Severus," Harry said quietly, so that nobody but Ginny could hear, and she was tactful enough to pretend to be waving to Rose, who was now on the train, " you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew. "
2 " I believe that if one man were to live out his life fully and completely, were to give form to every feeling, expression to every thought, reality to every dream - I believe that the world would gain such a fresh impulse of joy that we would forget all the maladies of medievalism, and return to the Hellenic ideal - to something finer, richer, than the Hellenic ideal, it may be. But the bravest man amongst us is afraid of himself. The mutilation of the savage has its tragic survival in the self-denial that mars our lives. We are punished for our refusals. "
― Oscar Wilde
3 " It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived. "
― Harper Lee , To Kill a Mockingbird
