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.

More quotes by Joanne Harris
What is a writer of fiction but a liar with a licence?
Joanne Harris
I'm phobic about the idea of being constrained.

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
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
I think if you are an outsider then you are an outsider always.
Joanne Harris
The process of giving is without limits.
Joanne Harris
Anything that can be dreamed is true.
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.
