I sell dreams, small comforts, sweet harmless temptations to bring down a multitude of saints crashing among the hazels and nougatines
Joanne Harris
Change isn't always comfortable, but it is a fact of life.
Joanne Harris
This isn't the first time the world has come to an end, and it won't be the last either.

I liked her better for showing a little spirit.

A thing named is a thing tamed.
Joanne Harris
Remember, it's the winners write the history books, and the losers get the leavings.
Joanne Harris

Joanne Harris
But I rather thought--I mean, I heard you'd killed Balder the Fair. I never did, snapped Loki crossly. Well, no one ever proved I did. What happened to the presumption of innocence? Besides, he was supposed to be invulnerable. Was it my fault that he wasn't?
Joanne Harris
As authors, we all expect criticism from time to time, and we all have our ways of coping with unfriendly reviews.
Joanne Harris
She always had that about her, that look of otherness, of eyes that see things much too far, and of thoughts that wander off the edge of the world.
Joanne Harris
Sometimes survival is the worst alternative there is
Joanne Harris
It isn't just a village. The houses aren't just places to live. Everything belongs to everybody. Everyone belongs to everyone else. Even a single person can make a difference.
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
I am fascinated by how people eat and what it reveals about them.
Joanne Harris
Happiness. Simple as a glass of chocolate or tortuous as the heart. Bitter. Sweet. Alive.
Joanne Harris
I think everybody has a secret life.
