Joanne Harris Quotes

The dead know everything, but don’t give a damn Picture Quote #1

Like a domestic cat, purring on the sofa by day, but by night, a strutting queen, a natural killer, disdainful of her other life Picture Quote #1

I sell dreams, small comforts, sweet harmless temptations to bring down a multitude of saints crashing among the hazels and nougatines Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My heroes and heroines are often unlikely people who are dragged into situations without meaning to become involved, or people with a past that has never quite left them. They are often isolated, introspective people, often confrontational or anarchic in some way, often damaged or secretly unhappy or incomplete Picture Quote #1

People reveal so much of their mental processes online, simply because the psychological effect of anonymity just means that a whole raft of inhibitions are left alone when people log on Picture Quote #1

I’ve nothing against kids reading anything they please, but I do have a problem with pink books for girls and black books for boys Picture Quote #1

A man may plant a tree for a number of reasons. Perhaps he likes trees. Perhaps he wants shelter. Or perhaps he knows that someday he may need the firewood Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been very good at leaving things behind. I tried, but I have always left fragments of myself there too, like seeds awaiting their chance to grow Picture Quote #1

Some people spend the whole of their lives sitting waiting for one train, only to find that they never even made it to the station Picture Quote #1

She always had that about her, that look of otherness, of eyes that see things much too far, and of thoughts that wander off the edge of the world Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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! Picture Quote #1

One of the things that writing has taught me is that fiction has a life of its own. Fictional places are sometimes more real than the view from our bedroom window. Fictional people can sometimes become as close to us as our loved ones Picture Quote #1

I let it go. It’s like swimming against the current. It exhausts you. After a while, whoever you are, you just have to let go, and the river brings you home Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Sometimes survival is the worst alternative there is Picture Quote #1

The great thing about books is that you can end with a question mark Picture Quote #1

Anything that can be dreamed is true Picture Quote #1

A named thing is a tamed thing Picture Quote #1

Clones fit in. Freaks stand out. Ask me which one I prefer Picture Quote #1

I’m not fond of cities: the constant activity and swarms of people Picture Quote #1

Change isn’t always comfortable, but it is a fact of life Picture Quote #1

The dead know everything but they don’t give a damn Picture Quote #1

I tend to write about more than one generation because as a child I had contact with more than one generation; it was normal to be around older people Picture Quote #1

I’m quite an untidy person in a lot of ways. But order makes me happy. I have to have a clear desk and a tidy desktop, with as few visual distractions as possible. I don’t mind sound distractions, but visual ones freak me out Picture Quote #1

I had a great grandmother who believed in so many strange superstitions. She used to tell the future from the things that catch on to the hem of your skirt when you’ve been sewing, and different colored threads would mean different things... Of course, all that influenced me quite a lot as a child Picture Quote #1

Everything comes home, my mother used to say; every word spoken, every shadow cast, every footprint in the sand. It can’t be helped; it’s part of what makes us who we are Picture Quote #1

We spoke French at home and I didn’t know any English until I went to school. My mother was French and met my father when he visited France as a student on a teaching placement Picture Quote #1

It may be something to do with my having been to a girls’ school, but I’m far more comfortable making male friendships than female ones. My friends tend to be men and their significant others Picture Quote #1
