More quotes by Joanne Harris

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
Online communities are an expression of loneliness.
Joanne Harris
Clones fit in. Freaks stand out. Ask me which one I prefer.
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
I am fascinated by how people eat and what it reveals about them.
Joanne Harris
Children are knives, my mother once said. They don’t mean to, but they cut. And yet we cling to them, don’t we, we clasp them until the blood flows.
