Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;But if I was still alive, I\u2019d have a damned fine day despite the rain, despite the depression, think of something you like doing and do it!&#8230;As for me, if I was still alive, I\u2019d have a great cup of coffee, a nice breakfast, then I\u2019d take a drive, walk around, smoke a cigar, eye the pretty ladies\u2026hmmm, nice lunch, yes sir! Read a good book and listen to music, maybe hang out with friends, watch some baseball on TV, love good conversation\u2026and maybe end the night with a little romance. You know what I mean? Live, live everyday, every night, then when you get over here on the ghosty side, you\u2019ll say like me, hey, I did pretty damned good. I hardly moped around at all. I enjoyed my precious human life to the full!
