“I know what you are known as . . . but to me, you will always be Tom Riddle. It is one of the irritating things about old teachers. I am afraid that they never quite forget their charges’ youthful beginnings.”

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”

“Always the innocent are the first victims, so it has been for ages past, so it is now.”
