I love the quotes listed hear via web page and via comment, but my fav. is the one from the prisoner(sp?) of azkaban about time and how it repeats itself, my social studies teacher says it from time to time…

Dumbledore is my best friend =)
He is not homosexual, he is the only one that understands me. =)
I talk to him in my dreams. Condensation is good, just like Dumbledore. Have a nice day

Uhm i dnt kno the quote exactly… but he says something like you can tell a mans true kindness not by how he treats his equals, but how he treats his inferiors?

My Favorite Dumbledore Quote is: “It is important to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then can evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated.”
But I can’t remember from which book..

“Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?” Beautiful!

I have always admired Dumbledore, and i actually cried when he died…
I think that some of his best quotes are:
“My brain suprises even me sometimes…” -Book 1, pg. 300
“Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open” -Book 4, pg. 723
“The master of death accepts that he must die, and understands that there are far, far worse things in the living world than dying.” -Book 7, Pg. 723
And finally…
“Of course this is happening in your head, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?” -Book 7, Pg. 723
I’m a big fan and i took notes to remember some of my favorite things =] Dumbledore was part of it. Along with everyone who died, quidditch scores, and the spells they used… I was VERY bored during summer… =]

Jess- Actually I’m pretty sure that that’s actually a sirius quote. When he’s talking to harry,hermione and ron in GoF. However it may have been adapted in the movies so yeah..

“It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends.” that line was one of J.K. Rowling’s favorite and most frequently used quotes… i read that on her website and i did a biography book report on her.
