I'd studied 16th century science and magic. I thought it was strange that people were interested in the same kinds of things my research was about. The more I thought about it, the more intriguing it became and pretty soon I was writing a novel about a reluctant witch and a 1500-year-old vampire.
Deborah Harkness
As fast as I can tell there are only two emotions that keep the world spinning year after year...One is fear. The other is desire.
Deborah Harkness
Wordlessly I looked back at him, astonished that a kiss on the palm could be so intimate.
Deborah Harkness
My experiences thus far had me planning to throttle the first Tudor historian I met upon my return for gross dereliction of duty.

Remember the past - and await the future.
Deborah Harkness
These days vampires gravitated toward particle accelerators, projects to decode the genome, and molecular biology. Once they had flocked to alchemy, anatomy, and electricity. If it went bang, involved blood, or promised to unlock the secrets of the universe, there was sure to be a vampire around.
Deborah Harkness
She was like a camera that had been chronically out of focus until someone came by and twisted the lenses into alignment.
Deborah Harkness
Se Souvenir du passe, et qu'il ya un avenir: Remember the past, and that there is a future.
