More quotes by Joanne Harris
To be closed from everything, and yet to feel, to think...This is the truth of hell, stripped of its gaudy medievalisms. This loss of contact.
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
A little tantrum in real life seems so much bigger online.
Joanne Harris
I can write absolutely anywhere. All I need is a laptop.
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
Remember, it's the winners write the history books, and the losers get the leavings.
Joanne Harris
I think if you are an outsider then you are an outsider always.
Joanne Harris
I don't think I've ever had a mentor. The closest thing is my friend Christopher Fowler, another writer. Chris kept me sane for a long time before I made it.
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
I carried recipes in my head like maps.
