More quotes by Joanne Harris
I sell dreams, small comforts, sweet harmless temptations to bring down a multitude of saints crashing among the hazels and nougatines
Joanne Harris
Anything based on ancient texts is difficult for a modern reader to get their head around.
Joanne Harris
I've never been very good at leaving things behind. I tried, but I have always left fragments of myself there too, like seeds awaiting their chance to grow.
Joanne Harris
One of the things that writing has taught me is that fiction has a life of its own. Fictional places are sometimes more real than the view from our bedroom window. Fictional people can sometimes become as close to us as our loved ones.
Joanne Harris
I like autumn. The drama of it the golden lion roaring through the back door of the year, shaking its mane of leaves. A dangerous time of violent rages and deceptive calm, of fireworks in the pockets and conkers in the fist.
Joanne Harris
Everything comes home, my mother used to say every word spoken, every shadow cast, every footprint in the sand. It can't be helped it's part of what makes us who we are.

Guilleaume left La Praline with a small bag of florentines in his pocket before he had turned the corner of avenue des Francs Bourgeois I saw him stoop to offer one to the dog. A pat, a bark, a wagging of the short stubby tail. As I said, some people never have to think about giving.

I love it when my books cause controversy, when people argue violently about the ending.
Joanne Harris
Drunkeness, she told us in a rare moment of confidence, is a sin against the fruit, the tree, the wine itself. Wine, distilled and nurtured from bud into fruit it deserves reverance. Joy. Gentleness. (Page 194.)
Joanne Harris
I carried recipes in my head like maps.
Joanne Harris
I don't tend to do category fiction very well. One of my problems when I was starting off was that publishers were hesitant to handle my books because they were never sure what I was going to do next.
Joanne Harris
What is a writer of fiction but a liar with a licence?
Joanne Harris
I liked her better for showing a little spirit.
Joanne Harris
I don't listen to music when I'm writing, but I often do when I'm reworking, editing or when I need to relax.
Joanne Harris
The process of giving is without limits.
Joanne Harris
And so Nat stood up and joined the group, and followed, and watched, and awaited his chance as the light of Chaos lit the plain and gods and demons marched to war.
Joanne Harris
I am fascinated by how people eat and what it reveals about them.
Joanne Harris
This isn't the first time the world has come to an end, and it won't be the last either.
Joanne Harris
We came in the wind of the carnival. A wind of change, or promises. The merry wind, the magical wind, making March hares of everyone, tumbling blossoms and coat-tails and hats rushing towards summer in a frenzy of exuberance.
Joanne Harris
Some things can be both real and imaginary at the same time, . . . some lies can be true, . . . broken faith may be restored.
