J. K. Rowling

You sort of start thinking anything's possible if you've got enough nerve.

My favorite literary heroine is Jo March. It is hard to overstate what she meant to a small, plain girl called Jo, who had a hot temper and a burning ambition to be a writer.

If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

The free sharing and teaching of open source is incompatible with the notion of the solitary genius.

I've never really been somebody who likes to hit it straight. That's just never been my forte, I guess.
