Alice Hoffman
We stood and watched as God abandoned us, and then we did the best we could.
Alice Hoffman
Some things, when they change, never do return to the way they once were. Butterflies for instance, and women who've been in love with the wrong man too often.
Alice Hoffman
I feel as if when you love a book it becomes a part of you whether you have it on your shelves or not.
Alice Hoffman
It was as if hope had appeared out of nowhere to settle beside her and it wasn't going anywhere, it wasn't going to desert her now.
Alice Hoffman
I love science fiction but especially his because it's so humane.
Alice Hoffman
It wasn't right to have someone charge into you your world without even asking, acting as if you were nothing more than an egg to be flipped and flopped, sunny-side up or scrambled, depending on the whims on whoever ran your life..._
Alice Hoffman
Young people believe that regret is something you will never feel if you simply do as you please, but sometimes it is a matter of degree.
Alice Hoffman
The weak are cruel. The strong have no need to be.
