L'histoire derrière cette citation
This line became one of the most quoted from any commencement speech in history. Rowling delivered it after explaining that had she succeeded at anything else, she might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena where she truly belonged. She reframed her lowest point not as defeat but as liberation — the moment that set her on the path to creating one of the most beloved literary series of all time.
