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
Change isn't always comfortable, but it is a fact of life.
Joanne Harris
If you want to know what's important to a culture, learn their language.
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
We came in the wind of the carnival. A wind of change, or promises. The merry wind, the magical wind, making March hares of everyone, tumbling blossoms and coat-tails and hats rushing towards summer in a frenzy of exuberance.
Joanne Harris
I speak as I must and cannot be silent.
Joanne Harris
A thing named is a thing tamed.
Joanne Harris
