 "One can never have enough socks"
Partially inspired by Harry Potter, I picked up two pairs....one for fun--the Bowmore Country socks--and a pair of charcoal, sadly, so I have something appropriate for piping at funerals.
In Sorcerer's Stone, Dumbledore reveals that he sees himself "holding a pair of thick woollen socks" in the Mirror of Erised, which shows "nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts." He also makes the wonderful remark that "One can never have enough socks...Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn't get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books".
HP fans can read the essay on socks at the HP Lexicon at http://www.hp-lexicon.org/essays/socks.html
...I wonder if my kilt is in the que yet?;-)
