The following are excerpts from the Harvard commencement address of "Harry Potter" author, J.K. Rowling, in June, 2008.
"It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default."
"Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to invision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared."
"We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better."
