Joanne Harris Quotes

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

In the old days of literature, only the very thick-skinned - or the very brilliant - dared enter the arena of literary criticism. To criticise a person’s work required equal measures of erudition and wit, and inferior critics were often the butt of satire and ridicule 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

The interesting thing about the Internet is that it has created a kind of alternative circle of friends for people Picture Quote #1

Some things can be both real and imaginary at the same time, . . . some lies can be true, . . . broken faith may be restored 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

Writing books and being paid for it - it’s not like winning the Lottery. You can’t suddenly go, ‘Yippee!’ and start throwing tenners in the air. I’ve done pretty well out of it, but certainly not enough to say, ‘Right, that’s me set up for life.’ Picture Quote #1

I believe that being happy is the only important thing. Happiness. Simple as a glass of chocolate or torturous as the heart. Bitter. Sweet. Alive Picture Quote #1

It’s a feeling which tells me that any woman can be beautiful in the eyes of a man who loves her Picture Quote #1

I first saw the island of Noirmoutier when I was two weeks old. I think it’s probably safe to say that I didn’t fully appreciate it at the time; but I grew to love it as year after year I spent holidays there at my grandparents’ cottage Picture Quote #1

I carried recipes in my head like maps Picture Quote #1

What is a writer of fiction but a liar with a licence? Picture Quote #1
