More quotes by Alice Hoffman
I feel like my eyes are killing me at the end of the day and that I shouldn't use them.
Alice Hoffman
I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for.
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
It doesn't matter what people tell you. It doesn't matter what they might say. Sometimes you have to leave home. Sometimes, running away means you're headed in the exact right direction.
Alice Hoffman
You build your world around someone, and then what happens when he disappears? Where do you go-into pieces, into atoms, into the arms of another man? You go shopping, you cook dinner, you work odd hours, you make love to someone else on June nights. But you're not really there.
Alice Hoffman
She can feel his blood, just beneath his skin when he breathes, the air fills with smoke. He's like a dragon, ancient and fearless.
Alice Hoffman
In Faithful, Ray Bradbury is discussed a lot. The characters read The Illustrated Man.
Alice Hoffman
Anyway, the sort of love that will not wait is probably best to pass by
Alice Hoffman
I'm much faster now. When you only have a certain amount of time to write, after a while you learn to use your time well or you stop writing
Alice Hoffman
The original fairy tale was about the youngest sister going into a room in the castle and finding all the bodies of the wives that came before her - she is confronted with truth, thinking about how often we think we know people and we really don't.
Alice Hoffman
No one knows how to write a novel until it's been written
Alice Hoffman
Ironically, now that my children are older and gone quite a bit, I find it harder to work when they're not around. Too much free time!
Alice Hoffman
Hearts were made for being broken. There's really no way around it if you want to be a human being.
Alice Hoffman
I'm a really eclectic reader.
Alice Hoffman
What else is there to write about than love and loss?
Alice Hoffman
When I looked at her, she appeared to be a different person from the one I'd known... She had rewritten everything, our history together, our friendship. Now I was the girl who'd stolen Andres the girl who'd lied to her about who I was. Therefore, she owned me nothing.
Alice Hoffman
Once you know some things, you can't unknow them. It's a burden that can never be given away.
Alice Hoffman
A red map isn't easy to follow. Any document made of blood and bones is tricky. Wrong turns are easily made, and there are often piles of stones in the road. A person has to disregard time and sorrow and all the damage done. If you follow, if you dare, the thread always leads to whomever or whatever you've forgotten.
Alice Hoffman
I hate it when people tell me the end of the story because my mother always read the last page of a novel first to see whether she wanted to read it. It was a strange reading habit.
Alice Hoffman
I read everything of Ray Bradbury when I was 12 or 13, and I think that's the most effective time to read Bradbury. He built such a moral world, where you have to make decisions and grow up.
