“Although I’ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much, my next book will be very different to the Harry Potter series.” - J.K. Rowling
"It’s a secondhand world we’re born into. What is novel to us is only so because we’re newborn, and what we cannot see, that has come before— what our parents have seen and been and done— are the hand-me-downs we begin to wear as swaddling clothes, even as we ourselves are naked. The flaw runs though us, implicating us in its imperfection even as it separates us, delivers onto opposite sides of a chasm. It is both terribly beautiful and terribly sad, but it is, finally, the fault in the universe that gives birth to us all."
"Second hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack."
