Quote(s) of the day

Some great quotes from one of my fave authors:

"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."


"It takes much bravery to stand up to our enemies but we need as much bravery to stand up to our friends."


"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals."


"It is our choices, Harry, that show us who we truly are, far more than our abilities."

J.K. Rowling's advice...

"Be ruthless about protecting writing days, i.e., do not cave in to endless requests to have 'essential' and 'long overdue' meetings on those days. The funny thing is that, although writing has been my actual job for several years now, I still seem to have to fight for time in which to do it. Some people do not seem to grasp that I still have to sit down in peace and write the books, apparently believing that they pop up like mushrooms without my connivance. I must therefore guard the time allotted to writing as a Hungarian Horntail guards its firstborn egg." --J.K. ROWLING
