Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is "man" in a higher sense— he is "collective man"— one who carries and shapes the unconscious, psychic forms of mankind.
C.G. Jung

J.K Rowling's books have changed the world in ways she probably never imagined when she first set off writing. Whether you hate them or love them they have crossed the boundaries of age and continent and produced some incredibly powerful quotes and in times where old values are fading she reminded us of the importance of honesty, honour, bravery, friendship and family, that its ok to be different and that even the smallest of light's can eventually overcome darkness.

"Whenever we finish talking to ourselves the world is always as it should be.  We renew it, we kindle it with life, we uphold it with our internal talk.  Not only that, but we also choose our paths as we talk to ourselves.  Thus we repeat the same choices over and over until the day we die, because we keep on repeating the same internal talk over and over until the day we die."

Meaning isn't separate from the matter. There are not separation in the meaning; separation is only in our minds. time is not gradual we observe it that way. Our minds can not process everything at once. The quidity that seems one of the phenomenon in fact includes ( modifies ) all other phenomenons, and all other phenomenons are only the manifestation of the same meaning- quidity- phonomenon. The separation in time, space...meanings are only cerebral. DD.
