November 2006 Challenge
The October Challenge is now finished! No one wrote for it, so no house points awarded.
hp_gen_ch's November Challenge is Inspiration!
I'm taking a slightly different tack this month. Below you'll find a list of quotations that I got by going to The Quotations Page and selecting the random quotes link. This month's challenge is to pick one (or more, if you like) of the quotes found under the cut and write a Harry Potter genfic inspired by it.
The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth. --Niels Bohr
If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us. --Hermann Hesse
We improve ourselves by victories over ourselves. There must be contests, and you must win. --Edward Gibbon
Well done is better than well said. --Benjamin Franklin
Health is not simply the absence of sickness. --Hannah Green
When you point your finger at someone, three fingers are pointing back at you. --Anonymous
War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace. --Thomas Mann
It's a shallow life that doesn't give a person a few scars. --Garrison Keillor
When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. --Henny Youngman
The average person thinks he isn't. --Father Larry Lorenzoni
