There is a lot to be thankful to JK Rowling for. The British novelist created the magical world of Hogwarts and gave us a friend in a bespectacled young boy- Harry Potter. Her books comforted us and provided us with a timely assurance that no matter how things appear, in the end virtues triumph and goodness wins. But apart from these she also had the most fascinating take on love, failure and on life in general. On the author's birthday, we bring to you some of her most inspiring quotes.
