Sometimes the nicest people are the ones who've been hurt the most

About This Quote

This quote by J.K. Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter, is a wonderful example of how unkind people can be. The author of the quote is referring to people who are normally nice to everyone else but still have lingering hurts that they keep inside. Sometimes these hurts are hidden; sometimes they surface in negative ways.

But the point is that the wounds are there and cannot be forgotten. When you’re around nice people, you want to be like them—you want to make them happy—but you also want to be safe and free from pain. You don’t want to be reminded of someone else’s pain.
