JK Rowling

Here are some true blue quotes penned by the genius that will make you empowered and make you sail through the toughest of situations!

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

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 is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities

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.

You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships until both have been tested by adversity.

 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. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged.

Fans from all over the world can't contain their excitement and happiness surrounding her birthday. From non-Harry Potter fans to Potterheads, everyone is showing birthday wishes to Rowling and Harry Potter.
