“Choosing love or war: both are brave choices, in their own ways.”

“We Slytherins are brave, yes, but not stupid. For instance, given the choice, we will always choose to save our own necks.”

“Love is the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth... Love is as love does. Love is an act of will -- namely, both an intention and an action. Will also implies choice. We do not have to love. We choose to love.”

“You do not choose who you love. Love just comes about. You can choose who you want or do not want to be around. But love is not a choice, it just forms on its own...”

“Choose your love. Love your choice.”

“I have choices," I insisted, refusing to break eye contact. "We both do. I may have to make mine carefully, and make a few compromises along the way, but I have a choice. I choose you.”
