More quotes by Joanne Harris
I'd rather be a freak than a clone.
Joanne Harris
I speak as I must and cannot be silent.
Joanne Harris
The right circumstances sometimes happen of their own accord, slyly, without fanfare, without warning. Layman's alchemy. . . . The magic of everyday things.
Joanne Harris
I like literature that you respond to in some way. You laugh, you cry, you turn the light on - that's great, it's eliciting a response by proxy.
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
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
Some things can be both real and imaginary at the same time, . . . some lies can be true, . . . broken faith may be restored.
Joanne Harris
If you want something you can have it, but you have to do some work. It's the ethic my mother brought me up with.
Joanne Harris
You don't write because someone sets assignments! You write because you need to write, or because you hope someone will listen or because writing will mend something broken inside you or bring something back to life.
Joanne Harris
Change isn't always comfortable, but it is a fact of life.
Joanne Harris
I'm not fond of cities: the constant activity and swarms of people.
Joanne Harris
Online communities are an expression of loneliness.
Joanne Harris
I think if you are an outsider then you are an outsider always.
Joanne Harris
The dead know everything but they don't give a damn.
