About This Quote

This quote comes from a time of great personal struggle for author J.K. Rowling. At the age of twenty-three, she was attacked and left partially paralyzed. The event that left her partially paralyzed sent shockwaves through the world, but it also brought about a change in her life.

Eventually, she went on to become one of the greatest writers in the world with seven books under her belt, including the Harry Potter series of novels. As a result of this event, she saw how people falter and how they can rise above their struggles and become better than ever before.
