Bill Weasley Quotes

"…Goblin notions of ownership, payment, and repayment are not the same as human ones. […] We are talking about a different kind of being," said Bill. "Dealings between wizards and goblins have been fraught for centuries. […] To a goblin, the rightful and true master of any object is the maker, not the purchaser. All goblin-made objects are, in goblin eyes, rightfully theirs." (25.93)

Bill reminds Harry that not everyone can be held to the same human standards – goblins have their own identity as a species, and thus live by their own rules.
