Joanne Harris Quote: “My mother marked the events of her life with recipes, dishes of her own invention or interpretations of old favorites. Food was her nostalgia, her celebration, its nurture and preparation the sole outlet for her creativity.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “I’m not sure I believe in the whole ‘ghost-afterlife’ thing, but I think places are marked by people who have been there.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “There was something about total loyalty, uncritical devotion, endless patience, perpetual forgiveness and the general inability to believe that a loved one could ever do anything wrong that, frankly, just gave him the creeps.”

Joanne Harris Quote: “I liked her better for showing a little spirit.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “Clever folk aren’t popular, by and large. They arouse suspicion. They don’t fit in. They can be useful, as I proved on a number of occasions, but among the general population there’s always a sense of vague mistrust, as if the very qualities that make them indispensable also make them dangerous.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “I guessed he’d never experienced revenge, a threesome, or Sigyn’s jam tarts.”

Joanne Harris Quote: “I made the coffee myself in Armande’s curious small kitchen with its cast-iron range and low ceiling. Everything is clean there, but the one tiny window looks onto the river, giving the light a greenish underwater look. Hanging from the dark, unpainted beams are bunches of dry herbs in their muslin sachets. On the whitewashed walls, copper pans hang from hooks. The door- like all the doors in the house- has a hole cut into the base to allow free passage to her cats.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “All words have power, of course, but names are the most potent of all, which is why the gods had so many.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “I happen to know that history is nothing but a spin and metaphor, which is what all yarns are made up of, when you strip them down to the underlay. And what makes a hit or a myth, of course, is how that story is told, and by whom.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “He was the cleanest-cut comic-book schoolboy hero imaginable.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “I love it when my books cause controversy, when people argue violently about the ending.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “Think about it for a while. How can you hope to have any friends when you spy on everything they do? How can you enjoy the present when you can see the future? Most of all, how can you love when you know Death lies in waiting?”
Joanne Harris Quote: “Your wolf is eating that man. I thought you should know.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “All schools have their skeletons. St Oswald’s is no exception. Most of the time, we try our best to keep them in the closet. But this time, the only recourse we have is to throw open all the closets, light as many bulbs as we can and catch the vermin as it comes out.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “At such times I feel I could die for love of her, my little stranger, my heart swelling dangerously so that the only release is to run too, my red coat flapping around my shoulders like wings, my hair a comet’s tail in the patchy blue sky.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “And if I never have a veil, or a golden ring on my hand, I will still have you, my love, and that will be enough for me. Sleep well, love, and dream of me. And know that, if I were to live for a thousand years, there would still not be enough nights in which to dream of you.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “I’ll be your handmaid, Thor,” I said. “Don’t worry, I won’t steal your thunder. You’ll make a gorgeous bride.” Thor growled.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “At five in the morning the Loire is still and sumptuous with mist. The water is beautiful at that time of the day, cool and magically pale, the sandbanks rising like lost continents. The water smells of night, and here and there a spray of new sunlight makes mica shadows on the surface.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “What is a writer of fiction but a liar with a licence?”
Joanne Harris Quote: “I carried recipes in my head like maps.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “So much of his life seemed to be like this now, a blur of days without anything to define them from each other, like episodes of a soap he watched out of habit, even though none of the characters interested him.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “The advantage of travel is that after a while you begin to realize that wherever you go, most people aren’t really all that much different.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “Wine talks; ask anyone. The oracle at the street corner; the uninvited guest at the wedding feast; the holy fool. It ventriloquizes. It has a million voices. It unleashes the tongue, teasing out secrets you never meant to tell, secrets you never even knew. It shouts, rants, whispers. It speaks of great plans, tragic loves, and terrible betrayals. It screams with laughter. It chuckles softly to itself. It weeps in front of its own reflection. It revives summers long past and memories best forgotten. Every bottle a whiff of other times, other places, everyone... a humble miracle.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “The dead know everything but they don’t give a damn.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “I have a tendency to pick up my own challenges. The more difficult something it is, the more I want to try it.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “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.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “I like literature that you respond to in some way. You laugh, you cry, you turn the light on – that’s great, it’s eliciting a response by proxy.”
Joanne Harris Quote: “Call me cynical if you like. But it all sounds a bit too convenient. The Authorized Version of events leaves out a number of details, which Creationists seem content to ignore.

Joanne Harris Quote: “It’s too early for strawberries. But the clearing is filled with their leaves and their little white flowers, like fallen stars. The wishing well was covered, too, so that only someone who knew it was there would have really noticed it. It looks like a barrow under the green; somewhere fairies or goblins might live.”
