Quotes

  • I daresay Freddy might not be a great hand at slaying dragons—but one has not the smallest need of a man who can kill dragons!
  • As soon as one promises not to do something, it becomes the one thing above all others that one most wishes to do.
  • I don’t think I am green. It’s true I only know what I’ve read in books, but I’ve read a great many books.
