J. K. Rowling Matters Quotations

As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters. I wish you all very good lives.

It matters not what a person is born, but who they choose to be.

I hope that even if you remember not a single word of mine, you remember those of Seneca, another of those old Romans I met when I fled down the Classics corridor, in retreat from career ladders, in search of ancient wisdom: As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
