Other J. K. Rowling quotes:
It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default.
Sometimes you have to stop trying to force it, walk away and let your subconscious show you the way. Fill up on life for a while.
If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.
You lose your individuality a huge amount when you have no money, and I certainly had that experience.
If you don't like to read, you haven't found the right book.
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.

Failure is so important. We speak about success all the time. It is the ability to resist failure or use failure that often leads to greater success. I've met people who don't want to try for fear of failing.
Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve!
It is our choices... that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
