First time Quote by J.K. Rowling
““For the first time, Voldemort smiled, It was taut leer, an evil thing, more threatning than a look of rage. 'The old argument,' he said softly. 'But nothing I have seen in the world has supported your famous pronouncments that love is more powerful than my kind of magic, Dumbledore.' 'Perhaps you have been looking in the wrong places,' suggested Dumbledore.””
