Joanne Harris
Our lives are like these things I make. Turn 'em, build 'em, bake 'em in fire. That's what you've been, son. Baked and fired. But a pot don't have the right to choose whether he be for water, wine, or just left empty. You have, son. You have.
Joanne Harris
Places have their own characters. . . . But the people begin to look the same.
Joanne Harris
I think everybody has a secret life.
