Joanne Harris

Joanne Harris
I'd rather be a freak than a clone.
Joanne Harris
Change isn't always comfortable, but it is a fact of life.
Joanne Harris
I carried recipes in my head like maps.
Joanne Harris
Some things can be both real and imaginary at the same time, . . . some lies can be true, . . . broken faith may be restored.
Joanne Harris

Joanne Harris
I speak as I must and cannot be silent.
Joanne Harris
