More quotes by Alice Hoffman
Some stories stayed with you even when you wanted to forget them.
Alice Hoffman
We stood and watched as God abandoned us, and then we did the best we could.
Alice Hoffman
I have crossed over to a place where I never thought I’d be. I am someone I would have never imagined. A secret. A dream. I am this, body and soul. Burn me. Drown me. Tell me lies. I will still be who I am.
Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman
Being an outsider is the one thing we all have in common.
Alice Hoffman
The only people out at this hour were ones who couldn't sleep,those haunted by one thing or another:love thwarted, love lost, love thrown away. They were the sort of people who didn't want to be noticed, who wanted to slip through shadows, be alone with their despair.
Alice Hoffman
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
Most people know that Ray Bradbury is one of my favorite authors.
Alice Hoffman
It wasn't right to have someone charge into you your world without even asking, acting as if you were nothing more than an egg to be flipped and flopped, sunny-side up or scrambled, depending on the whims on whoever ran your life..._
Alice Hoffman
No one knows how to write a novel until it's been written
Alice Hoffman
Some fates are guaranteed, no matter who tries to intervene.
