Real love, after all, was worth the price you paid, however briefly it might last.
Alice Hoffman
Image
Still, I couldn't help but wonder if it was a mistake for people like us to be tied to a place. If we weren't meant to be ready and willing to wander. If everything we needed was contained in who we were. And what we remember.

Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman
Image
Some stories stayed with you even when you wanted to forget them.
Alice Hoffman
Image
Every problem has a solution, although it may not be the outcome that was originally hoped for or expected.
Alice Hoffman
Image
Mothers always find ways to fit in the work - but then when you're working, you feel that you should be spending time with your children and then when you're with your children, you're thinking about working.
Alice Hoffman
Image
Sally...can no longer think of love as a reality, or even as a possibility, however remote.
Alice Hoffman
Image

Alice Hoffman
Image
In losing a friend, she is reminded of all she has lost and all she stands to lose again. There is nothing to be done to make it any easier. We all grieve alone.
Alice Hoffman
Image
I feel more influenced in my own work by dreams than I do by other writers' works in a way. Or by popular culture, movies - what else is there to write about than love and loss?

The adults don't know what's happening on the kids' universe and the kids don't know what's happening on the adults' universe
