“You have to believe in yourself despite the evidence.”

“Despite all evidence to the contrary, Grandmère believes that Ron Weasley, not Voldemort, is the villain of the Harry Potter series.”

“Despite all evidence to the contrary I do not believe humans innately cruel, but they fear change of any kind.”

“You have to believe in yourself.”

“Before you have faith you must believe, and before you believe there must be evidence of some sort to persuade the mind. Faith is remembering that evidence and holding to it against all that seems to challenge or contradict it.”

“You know a great many things in dreams, often despite the evidence of your eyes. You just know them.”

“You have to believe evidence when you have it in front of you, or else the universe is just too fantastic.”

“You have to believe in yourself more than most people believe in god, or something. ”

“To admit uncertainty is to admit to weakness, to powerlessness, and to believe in yourself despite both. It is a frailty, but in this frailty there is a strength: the conviction to live in your own mind, and not in someone else’s.”

“When it comes to believing in yourself, put your eye on the mark and don’t blink. If you have a goal, a dream, or an aspiration…believe in yourself while you are on the way to your destination, and you will have already arrived.”
