More quotes by Alice Hoffman
Unrequited love is so boring. Weeping under a blue-black sky is for suckers or maniacs.
Alice Hoffman
Remember what I've told you. Remember me.
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
Being human means losing everything we love best in the world, she murmured as she released me. But would you ask to be anything else?
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
This day is going to be awful. It's the sort of day you wouldn't mind losing completely, even if it meant your life would be twenty-four hours shorter.
Alice Hoffman
That is how you know you've left childhood behind-when you wish for time to go backward.
Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman
You can't dispute the ridiculous. You can't argue reasonably with evil.
Alice Hoffman
I didn’t want to be prideful anymore. I wanted to be as hard as and brittle as the stones I carted into the woods. Stones that could not feel or cry or see. I wished not to feel anything at all. In no time, what I wished for, I became.
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
My sorrow is I used to read all the time and now, as a writer, I don't have the time to read.
Alice Hoffman
I wasn't good company, that was true, and people avoided me, but that was all right. I was too busy dreaming.
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
Even in times when it's difficult to figure out, how do you go forward, art - and books - always help
Alice Hoffman
I never plot out my novels in terms of the tone of the book. Hopefully, once a story is begun it reveals itself
Alice Hoffman
The more you feel, the stronger you are.
Alice Hoffman
Even as a small child, I understood that woman had secrets, and that some of these were only to be told to daughters. In this way we were bound together for eternity.
Alice Hoffman
It's not the lie that's the problem it's the distance the lie forges between you.
Alice Hoffman
That was the way love was, invisible, there whether or not you wanted to see it or admit to it.
Alice Hoffman
