The Harry Potter series is a staple of millions of peoples' childhoods; Harry, Ron, and Hermione taught us lessons on friendship, accepting adventure, and love. Because of the impact the books had on so many of us when we were younger, it is important to revisit and appreciate some of the series' most memorable lines.

1. “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

2. “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

3. "'The truth.' Dumbledore sighed. "'It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.'” - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

4. “If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.” - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

5. “Dumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.” - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

6. “Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.” - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

7. “Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.” - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

8. “Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.” - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

9. “We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.” - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

10. "The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by an invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing.” - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

11. “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
