More quotes by Joanne Harris
The battle of good and evil reduced to a fat woman standing in front of a chocolate shop, saying, Will I? Won’t I? in pitiful indecision.
Joanne Harris
I think if you are an outsider then you are an outsider always.
Joanne Harris
As authors, we all expect criticism from time to time, and we all have our ways of coping with unfriendly reviews.

...we do not simply get showered with Hollywood money because we happened to write a little story about wizards one day. It's not winning the lottery. It's a real job, which real people do, and they have the same real problems as other real people.
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

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.

Joanne Harris
I am fascinated by how people eat and what it reveals about them.
Joanne Harris
If you can still write in spite of the fact that you're not getting paid, that nobody cares about what you're writing, that nobody wants to publish it, that everybody is telling you to do something else, and you still want to and you still enjoy it and you can't stop doing it...then you're a writer.
Joanne Harris
Online communities are an expression of loneliness.
Joanne Harris
I'm not fond of cities: the constant activity and swarms of people.
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
The great thing about books is that you can end with a question mark.
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
I speak as I must and cannot be silent.
Joanne Harris
Nat Parson says it's the devil's mark. Nat Parson's a gobshite. Maddy was torn between a natural feeling of sacrilege and a deep admiration of anyone who dared call a parson 'gobshite.
