More quotes by 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
Trouble is just like love, after all it comes in unannounced and takes over before you've had a chance to reconsider, or even to think.
Alice Hoffman
Be careful what you wish for. I know that for a fact. Wishes are brutal, unforgiving things. They burn your tongue the moment they're spoken and you can never take them back.
Alice Hoffman
How could I have been so stupid to ignore everything I’d had in my life? The color red alone was worth kingdoms.
Alice Hoffman
I've been a screenwriter for twenty-five years. Every one of my books have been optioned for movies and I have written a few of those screenplays.
Alice Hoffman
I wasn't quite as certain that I knew her soul. When it came right down to it, I wasn't sure she knew me either.
Alice Hoffman
When you start writing the magic comes when the characters seem to take on a life of their own and write the words for themselves.
Alice Hoffman
That was the way illness appeared in a house, in the corners, in between floorboards, on the hooks in the closet, along with the sweaters and coats.
Alice Hoffman
Jill and I have known each other our whole lives. One house separates our houses but we act as if it doesn't exist. We met before we were born and we'll probably still know each other after we die. At least, that's the way we're planning it.
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
I love science fiction but especially his because it's so humane.
Alice Hoffman
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
Most people know that Ray Bradbury is one of my favorite authors.
Alice Hoffman
Every time someone forgets, someone else disappears,' my brother wrote.
Alice Hoffman
He'd thought he was lost, but now he recognized that eternity was around him, like salt from a shaker or stars in the sky.
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 feel like my eyes are killing me at the end of the day and that I shouldn't use them.
Alice Hoffman
Maybe some love was guaranteed. Maybe it fit inside you and around you like skin and bones.
Alice Hoffman
I think we are bound to, and by, nature. We may want to deny this connection and try to believe we control the external world, but every time there's a snowstorm or drought, we know our fate is tied to the world around us
Alice Hoffman
The more you feel, the stronger you are.
