“Depression is very different.”

Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

Failure is so important. We speak about success all the time. It is the ability to resist failure or use failure that often leads to greater success. I’ve met people who don’t want to try for fear of failing.

You can have a very intense relationship with fictional characters because they are in your own head.

You must accept the reality of other people.

You must accept the reality of other people.

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

The truth is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.

Size is no guarantee of power.

We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.

Ultimately, we all have to decide for ourselves what constitutes failure, but the world is quite eager to give you a set of criteria if you let it.

A good first impression can work wonders.

Why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential.

Life is too short. I only want to do things that I enjoy, or that I think are good or worth doing.

Imagination is the foundation of all invention and innovation.

First sign of madness, talking to your own head.

Hearing voices no one else can hear isn’t a good sign, even in the wizarding world.

Pain is something to master, not to wallow in.

Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity.

The reality is, sometimes, you lose. And you’re never too good to lose. And you’re never too big to lose. You’re never too smart to lose.

He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year.

Death smiles at us all; all we can do is smile back.

Depression is deadened feeling, which is so very different from feeling sad. Sad hurts but it’s a healthy feeling. It is a necessary thing to feel.

These times are so hard, and they’re getting even harder.

I am trying to find myself. Sometimes that’s not easy.
