"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love."
- Dumbledore (Deathly Hallows, pg. 722)
"The Snitch. His nerveless fingers fumbled for a moment with the pouch at his neck and he pulled it out.
I open at the close.
Breathing fast and hard, he stared down at it. Now that he wanted time to move as slowly as possible, it seemed to have sped up, and understanding was coming so fast it seemed to have bypassed thought. This was the close. This was the moment.
He pressed the golden metal to his lips and whispered, "I am about to die." ..............
Lily's smile was widest of all. She pushed her long hair back as she drew close to him, and her green eyes, so like his, searched his face hungrily, as though she would never be able to look at him enough.
"You've been so brave."
He could not speak. His eyes feasted on her, and he thought that he would like to stand and look at her forever, and that would be enough.
"You are nearly there, " said James. "Very close. We are... so proud of you."
"Does it hurt?"
The childish question had fallen from Harry's lips before he could stop it.
"Dying? Not at all," said Sirius. "Quicker and easier than falling asleep."
... "You'll stay with me?" (said Harry)
"Until the very end," said James."
(Deathly Hallows, page 698-700)
And slight change in the movie...... "You'll stay with me?" to which Lily replies, "We never left you."
