The Point

via gala darling
“I guess that’s the point of it all. No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people. Oftentimes, we have no clue. Yet we push it just the same.”

Jay Asher

Albus Dumbledore



Obviously the work of J.K. Rowling. When I wrote this down, I didn't think it was important to specify which book it came from. If you're sure (I think I know), give me a head's up.

Memories


"Memories are absurd things. Some are vague, some crystalline, some too painful to recollect and some so painful it’s impossible to forget. Happy times are remembered with warmth and laughter, recalled as an anecdote in the pub, exaggerated for the crowd. The really good ones keep you company on an otherwise lonely evening. The clearest memories are of those occasions when you experience great highs or lows. It’s the emotion the situation inspires that you remember. That feeling of incredible exultation or terrible despair enables your brain to note the details that normally pass you by, like the color of someone’s shirt, a hand gesture or how warm or cold it was."

Inconsolable


Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.
