J. K. Rowling
Her grief was so big and wild it terrified her, like an evil beast that had erupted from under the floorboards.
J. K. Rowling
I always felt an outsider.
J. K. Rowling
You can exist without your soul, you know, as long as your brain and heart are still working. But you’ll have no sense of self anymore, no memory, no . . . anything. There’s no chance at all of recovery. You’ll just — exist. As an empty shell. And your soul is gone forever . . . lost.
