J.K. Rowling

Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.

We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better.

As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.

Failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me.

And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.

We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.
