About This Quote
When your mom thinks of the things that make you different from her, she may include your legs. When she tells you those things about yourself, she is essentially saying that you have all the tools necessary to contribute to what she calls a win-win situation. That’s love. In this quote, J.K. Rowling captured the essence of love with a simple image of a child on her knees crawling on the floor to reach her mother’s heart.
