Joanne Harris
I'd rather be a freak than a clone.
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 think everybody has a secret life.
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
Anything based on ancient texts is difficult for a modern reader to get their head around.
Joanne Harris
Online communities are an expression of loneliness.
Joanne Harris
Change isn't always comfortable, but it is a fact of life.
Joanne Harris
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.
