Praise the name of baseball. the word will set captives free. the word will open the eyes of the blind. the word will raise the dead. have you the word of baseball living inside you? has the word of baseball become part of you? do you live it, play it, digest it, forever? let an old man tell you to make the word of baseball your life. walk into the world and speak of baseball. let the word flow through you like water, so that it may quicken the thirst of your fellow man.

And his knowledge remained woefully incomplete, harry! that which voldemort does not value, he takes no trouble to comprehend. of house-elves and children's tales, of love, loyalty, and innocence, voldemort knows and understands nothing. nothing. that they all have a power beyond his own, a power beyond the reach of any magic, is a truth he has never grasped.
