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.

More quotes by Joanne Harris
I let it go. It's like swimming against the current. It exhausts you. After a while, whoever you are, you just have to let go, and the river brings you home.
Joanne Harris
I love it when my books cause controversy, when people argue violently about the ending.
Joanne Harris
I'm not fond of cities: the constant activity and swarms of people.
Joanne Harris
What is a writer of fiction but a liar with a licence?
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
One of the things that writing has taught me is that fiction has a life of its own. Fictional places are sometimes more real than the view from our bedroom window. Fictional people can sometimes become as close to us as our loved ones.
Joanne Harris
I am fascinated by how people eat and what it reveals about them.
Joanne Harris
Some books you read. Some books you enjoy. But some books just swallow you up, heart and soul.
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
I liked her better for showing a little spirit.
Joanne Harris
The process of writing is a little like madness, a kind of possession not altogether benign.
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
Everything comes home, my mother used to say every word spoken, every shadow cast, every footprint in the sand. It can't be helped it's part of what makes us who we are.
Joanne Harris
Places have their own characters. . . . But the people begin to look the same.
Joanne Harris
I think everybody has a secret life.
Joanne Harris
Sheep are not the docile, pleasant creatures of the pastoral idyll. Any countryman will tell you that. They are sly, occasionally vicious, pathologically stupid. The lenient shepherd may find his flock unruly, definant. I cannot afford to be lenient.
Joanne Harris
The great thing about books is that you can end with a question mark.
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
I don't listen to music when I'm writing, but I often do when I'm reworking, editing or when I need to relax.
Joanne Harris
You priests. You're all the same. You think fasting helps you think about God, when anyone who can cook would tell you that fasting just makes you think about food.
Joanne Harris
