More quotes by Joanne Harris
Anything based on ancient texts is difficult for a modern reader to get their head around.
Joanne Harris
...we do not simply get showered with Hollywood money because we happened to write a little story about wizards one day. It's not winning the lottery. It's a real job, which real people do, and they have the same real problems as other real people.
Joanne Harris
Death should be a celebration. Like a birthday. I want to go up like a rocket when my time comes, and fall down in a cloud of stars, and hear everyone go: ahh!

Joanne Harris
The great thing about books is that you can end with a question mark.
Joanne Harris

Joanne Harris
This isn't the first time the world has come to an end, and it won't be the last either.
Joanne Harris
The right circumstances sometimes happen of their own accord, slyly, without fanfare, without warning. Layman's alchemy. . . . The magic of everyday things.
Joanne Harris
I'd rather be a freak than a clone.
Joanne Harris
A thing named is a thing tamed.
Joanne Harris
I am fascinated by how people eat and what it reveals about them.
Joanne Harris
Their love was something which coloured the air between them like sunlight.
