More quotes by Alice Hoffman
Some things, however, are true no matter how hard you might try to block them out, and a lie is always a lie, no matter how prettily told. Some doors, once they're opened, can never be closed again, just as some trust, once it's been lost, can never be won back.

Alice Hoffman
Among men and women, those in love do not always announce themselves with declarations and vows. But they are the ones who weep when you're gone. Who miss you every single night, especially when the sky is so deep and beautiful, and the ground so very cold.
Alice Hoffman
Pride is a funny thing it can make what is truly worthless appear to be a treasure.
Alice Hoffman
Young people believe that regret is something you will never feel if you simply do as you please, but sometimes it is a matter of degree.
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
The weak are cruel. The strong have no need to be.
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
Do you ever just put your arms out and just spin and spin and spin? Well, that's what love is like everything inside of you tells you to stop before you fall, but for some reason you just keep going.
Alice Hoffman
