“Finally- no more ruddy show for the folks back home. No pretending it's all beer and skittles and no one ever gets hurt.- Phoenix and Ashes”
“Life's not all beer and skittles”
“In order to rise from its own ashes, a Phoenix first must burn.”
“Fawkes is a phoenix, Harry. Phoenixes burst into flame when it is time for them to die and are reborn from the ashes.”
“I don't pretend to see the path, but I know it's there all the same. One day, we'll look back and wonder how we ever missed it.”
“Whether we remain the ash or become the phoenix is up to us.”
