Quote by Joanne Harris

“What he found was astonishing. Every wall was plastered with posters and flyers. Some were like the ones he'd seen on the brick wall at King's Cross; others seemed to advertise specific market traders. Some were old and faded; some seemed much more recent. Some sounded quite ordinary-- Cocksfoot & Sable: Fine Ales and Cheeses; Clancy's Rustic Furnishings-- and some were more unusual. Tom frowned over Yellow Belle's Night-Woven Yarns, and felt his heart beat faster at Spindle Ermine's Love Spells. What kind of a market was this? He thought he understood Bird-Cherry's Flowers and Fruits, or Straw Dot's Most Accurate Timepieces, and even Scarlet Tiger Sleeve Tattoos-- but what was he to make of Pretty Pinion Wing Repairs or Mother Shipton, Laundress of Dreams, or Pale Eggar's Glamours and Charms, or Dusky Sallow's Evercoats?”

“Die Menschen brauchen nur sehr wenig Platz auf der Erde. Wenn die zwei Milliarden Menschen, die auf der Erde leben, sich ein wenig zusammengedrängt aufstellten, eben wie bei einem Volksfest, dann könnten sie leicht auf einem Platz von zwanzig Meilen Länge und zwanzig Meilen Breite unterkommen. Man könnte die ganze Menschheit auf der kleinsten Insel im Pazifik zusammendrängen.”
