More quotes by Alice Hoffman
Burn me. Drown me. Tell me lies. I will still be who I am.
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
At midnight the wind in the tress can sound like the ocean. The moonlight can make a road appear as endless as the sea.
Alice Hoffman
They were written on cheap blue notebooks bought by poor women. I'm interested in folk tales in the way that medicine and magic in women's stories are all kind of combined.
Alice Hoffman
Are people drawn to each other because of the stories they carry inside?
Alice Hoffman
I'm at the point where going forward is easier than going back.
Alice Hoffman
When I read Jerome D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye that was the first time I felt my mind blow open. I thought that book was speaking to me. I was 12 or 13 when I read that. I read everything on my mother's bookshelves.
Alice Hoffman
Avoid men who call you Baby, and women who have no friends, and dogs that scratch at their bellies and refuse to lie down at your feet. Wear dark glasses bathe with lavender oil and cool fresh water. Seek shelter from the sun at noon.
Alice Hoffman
Others said May was best, that sweet green time when lilacs bloomed and gardens along Main Street were filled with sugary pink peonies and Dutch tulips.
Alice Hoffman
Here's the thing about luck...you don't know if it's good or bad until you have some perspective.
Alice Hoffman
Crying wasn't like riding a bike. Give it up, and you quickly forget how it's done.
Alice Hoffman
The grass he walked through was new and a sweet smell clung to his clothes. There was blue dye on his hands from the wild irises... that the color of the sky was a shade that could never be replicated in any photograph, just as Heaven could never be seen from the confines of Earth.
Alice Hoffman
Every time I finish a book, I forget everything I learned writing it - the information just disappears out of my head
Alice Hoffman
Unrequited love is so boring. Weeping under a blue-black sky is for suckers or maniacs.
Alice Hoffman
Some fates are guaranteed, no matter who tries to intervene.
Alice Hoffman
He was in love, and people in that condition did stupid, unfathomable things. They were all flawed, every single one.
Alice Hoffman
Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights was extremely important to me.
Alice Hoffman
Fairytales were maps formed of blood and hair and bones they were the knots of the sub-conscious unwound. Every word in every tale was real and as true as apples and stones. They all led to the story inside the story.
Alice Hoffman
The nature of love had totally escaped her until now. She had thought that if you lost it, you could never get it back, like a stone thrown down a well. But it was like the water at the bottom of the well, there when you can't even see it, shifting in the dark.
Alice Hoffman
I'm a really eclectic reader.
