EPISODE 6

Mom, just wait a little while since I'm coming for you.
I'm going to you, Mom.
(Kim Tak Goo)

If your mom was taken in front of your eyes,
what would you do?
(Kim Mi Sun (Kim Tak Goo's mother) to Jo Jin Goo)

You are afraid you will be embarrassed by looking so weak.
That is why you are so mean, right?
(Shin Yoo Kyung to Goo Ma Joon)

It's you who have met great parents and so don't understand grief but,
there are worse things than being hit by punks.
(Shin Yoo Kyung to Goo Ma Joon)

Tak Goo, he has that quality.
No matter what, you can trust him.
(Shin Yoo Kyung to Goo Ma Joon)

Women can do it too.
I am going to inherit the company from father.
In order to do that, the only thing I can do right now is study.
(Goo Ja Kyung (Kim Tak Goo's eldest sister))

I'm never going to live like you.
You're living with a husband who doesn't love you and hanging on to him.
Holding on to a son who won't become anything,is so pathetic and pitiful.
(Goo Ja Kyung (Kim Tak Goo's eldest sister) to Seo In Sook)

Father knows right away when his son is telling a lie.
(Goo Il Jong (Kim Tak Goo's father))

If her son isn't even trying to find her, then who will?
(Kim Tak Goo)

EPISODE 7

My mom said good will always triumph over evil in this world.
But, is that true?
(Kim Tak Goo to Master Pal Bong)

If you wish the world to be that way, then it will be.
(Master Pal Bong to Kim Tak Goo)

As the eldest daughter, I've been trying my best to fulfill my responsibilities.
But I will not follow Mom's ways.
(Goo Ja Kyung (Kim Tak Goo's eldest sister) to Seo In Sook)

I know of two ways to enter that bakery.
One is to buy bread.
It's to learn bread-making.
(Master Pal Bong to Kim Tak Goo)

EPISODE 8

When have I...
When have I only chosen people based on skill?
(Master Pal Bong to Yang In Mok)

If they are (Jin Gu and Tak Goo) fated to meet, it cannot be avoided.
Whether it's for the better or worse.
(Master Pal Bong to Yang In Mok)

Even if you say you'll kill me, I have no right to hate you.
Truly...
I'm sorry.
(Jo Jin Goo to Kim Tak Goo)

When I see bread...
hateful memories come back
I think of hateful people...
so I hate bread...
enough to break out into hives.
When I swallow bread...
I hate it enough to throw up.
(Kim Tak Goo to Master Pal Bong)

Then you have not lived life as a good person.
Living life as a good person
means getting rid of hate, anger, and dislike.
When your mom told you to live life as a good person,
that's what she must have meant.
Don't hate and don't get angry,
(Master Pal Bong to Kim Tak Goo)

Haven't there been times when
you've been happy because of bread?
Think about those happy memories.
And...
make amends with the hatred
and hurtful memories in your heart.
(Master Pal Bong to Kim Tak Goo)

EPISODE 9

Each time I smell bread baking,
I have hope of living again.
Isn't that enough, Master?
(Jo Jin Goo to Master Pal Bong)

What should I do, Master?
For that child to forgive my crimes...
(Jo Jin Goo to Master Pal Bong)

A day will certainly come for you
to do something good for him.
(Master Pal Bong to Jo Jin Goo)

I came to see
someone else, not you.
My childhood friend, Kim Tak Goo.
The one you always wanted
to beat, but never could.
(Shin Yoo Kyung to Goo Ma Joon)
EPISODE 10

Why weren't you a son, Noona.
If it were like that then our lives won't be such a mess.
(Goo Ma Joon to Goo Ja Kyung)

Shin Yoo Kyung
It doesn't matter whether in the past
or right now...
You are the most beautiful when you smile.
(Kim Tak Goo to Shin Yoo Kyung)

I decided to believe...
I will eventually meet my mother again,
as long as I don't give up.
We will eventually meet again...
(Kim Tak Goo)

Tak Goo, if you continue to use your fist, that is bad too.
The fist is left for the absolute last.
That is what a great person does.

A child is a mirror of the parents' methods.
If you don't teach him well,

You're brave enough to steal,
but you're scared to take responsibility for your mistake.

You can't always be angry,
and you can't always use your fists.
(Kim Tak Goo's grandmother)

You must not be shaken.

then you shouldn't be shaken even a bit.
It doesn't matter if it was a misunderstanding or a set up,
you need to stand firm.
The truth will come out eventually.
(Kim Tak Goo's grandmother)

Ever since I was young,
I have seen a lot of people can't maintain on living.

[Book & Quote] Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Last Saturday I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 with my friend. I really enjoyed the movie. This movie’s officially my favourite Harry Potter movie besides the Sorcerer’s Stone. I totally love the movie, but I won’t say much since I myself hate something called ‘spoiler’ hehe. But, watching this movie reminds me of the book and… my favourite quotes from the book.

The curtains close. With Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the famous epic of wizardry and magic finally ends. J. K. Rowling takes us, Muggles, for one last magical tour into Harry Potter's world. The book ends with a climax that reaches a feverish pitch. If you haven't yet grabbed a copy of the book, you are missing a lot. For the rest of the die-hard Harry Potter fans, take a trip to fantasy land, with these Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows quotes.

Albus Dumbledore

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

It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.

Power was my weakness and my temptation.

Do not pity the dead, Harry, pity the living. Above all, pity those who live without love. By returning you may ensure that fewer souls are maimed and fewer families are torn apart. If that seems to you a worthy goal, then we say goodbye for the present.

That which Voldemort does not value, he takes no trouble to understand. 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.

Harry Potter

(To Ron and Hermione kissing) Oi! There's a war going on here!

Hermione Granger

Mudblood, and proud of it!

Wands are only as powerful as the wizards who use them. Some wizards just like to boast that theirs are bigger and better than other people's.

Ron Weasley

(With regard to Peeves singing his victory song) That really captures the scope and tragedy of the thing, doesn't it?

All's fair in love and war, and this is a bit of both.

(referring to Draco Malfoy's son) Make sure you beat him in every test, Rosie. Thank God you inherited your mother's brains.

Luna Lovegood

I think the answer is: a circle that has no beginning.

(After McGonagall says Lord Voldemort is attacking) Ooh! We can say that name now?

Peeves

We did it, we bashed them, wee Potter's the one,

And Voldy's gone moldy, so now let's have fun!

Sirius Black

[On being asked if dying hurt] Dying? Not at all. Quicker and easier than falling asleep.

Voldemort

That Potter lives is due more to my errors, than to his triumphs... I have been careless, and so have been thwarted by luck and chance, those wreckers of all but the best laid plans. But I know better now. I understand those things that I did not understand before. I must be the one to kill Harry Potter, and I shall be.

Dudley Dursley

(To Harry) I don't think you're a waste of space.

Mr. Ollivander

The wand chooses the wizard that much has always been clear to those of us who have studied wandlore.

Fred Weasley

For instance, this new idea that You-Know-Who can kill with a single glance from his eyes. That's a Basilisk, listeners. One simple test, check whether the thing that's glaring at you has got legs. If it has, it's safe to look into its eyes, although if it really is You-Know-Who, that's still likely to be the last thing you ever do.

(Engraved on Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem)

Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure.

(Engraved on the Potters' grave)

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

(Engraved on Dobby's grave)

Here lies Dobby, a free elf.
