About Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire · J. K. Rowling

  1. 1.Eragon

    Let no one rule your mind or body. Take special care that your thoughts remain unfettered, one may be a free man and yet be bound tighter than a slave. Give men your ear, but not your heart. Show respect for those in power, but don’t follow them blindly. Judge with logic and reason, but comment not. Consider none your superior in life. Treat all fairly or they will seek revenge. Be careful with your money. Hold fast to your beliefs and others will listen. Of the affairs of love, my only advice is to be honest. That’s your most powerful tool to unlock a heart or gain forgiveness.

  2. 2.Catching Fire

    Suzanne Collins, 2008

    Also dread and power. In a dystopian America, survival means a dangerous dance between rebellion and the crushing power of a totalitarian Capitol.

    “I think we’ll make this whole situation a lot simpler by agreeing not to lie to each other,” he says. “What do you think?”I think my tongue has frozen and speech will be impossible, so I surprise myself by answering back in a steady voice, “Yes, I think that would save time.”“Whatever problems anyone may have with the Capitol, believe me when I say that if it released its grip on the districts for even a short time, the entire system would collapse.” [...]“It must be very fragile, if a handful of berries can bring it down.”

    About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him — and I didn’t know how potent that part might be — that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

I do not kill with my gun;He who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.I kill with my heart.

    J.R.R. Tolkien, 1954

    ‘I wish it need not have happened in my time,’ said Frodo.‘So do I,’ said Gandalf, ‘and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.‘What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature, when he had a chance!’‘Pity? It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without need. And he has been well rewarded, Frodo. Be sure that he took so little hurt from the evil, and escaped in the end, because he began his ownership of the Ring so. With Pity.’

    George R.R. Martin, 1996

    Also power and dread. A winter that lasts years, a throne everyone wants, and a crowd of people whose choices all cost them something. Politics with knives and weather.

    You are your mother’s trueborn son of Lannister.""Am I?" the dwarf replied, sardonic. "Do tell my lord father. My mother died birthing me, and he’s never been sure.""I don’t even know who my mother was," Jon said."Some woman, no doubt. Most of them are." He favored Jon with a rueful grin. "Remember this, boy. All dwarfs may be bastards, yet not all bastards need be dwarfs."And with that he turned and sauntered back into the feast, whistling a tune.When he opened the door, the light from within threw his shadow clear across the yard, and for just a moment Tyrion Lannister stood tall as a king.
