More quotes by 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
I think secrets often come out. I spoke to a friend who is a therapist and I asked her if there were people who came to her and admitted to doing horrible things and she said, 'More than you know.'.
Alice Hoffman
But most important of all, she explained that it was all right to say 'No. I disagree.' that was a gift. I understood it was power. The power to think my own thoughts. The power to believe in myself.
Alice Hoffman
People want to ignore what they can't understand. They're looking for logic at any cost.
Alice Hoffman
I never see a novel as a film while I'm writing it. Mostly because novels and films are so different, and I'm such an internal novelist
Alice Hoffman
I just finished Colson Whitehead's The Underground Railroad, which I think is a work of genius.

Alice Hoffman
At midnight the wind in the tress can sound like the ocean. The moonlight can make a road appear as endless as the sea.
Alice Hoffman
Perhaps it is possible to discover more in silence than in speech. Or perhaps it is only that those who are silent among us learn to listen.
Alice Hoffman
Most people know that Ray Bradbury is one of my favorite authors.
Alice Hoffman
The grass he walked through was new and a sweet smell clung to his clothes. There was blue dye on his hands from the wild irises... that the color of the sky was a shade that could never be replicated in any photograph, just as Heaven could never be seen from the confines of Earth.
Alice Hoffman
It's not finding what's lost, it's understanding what you've found.
Alice Hoffman
The voice that arises out of the silence is something no one can imagine until it is heard. It roars when it speaks, it lies to you and convinces you, it steals from you and leaves you without a single word of comfort.
Alice Hoffman
Some things, when they change, never do return to the way they once were. Butterflies for instance, and women who've been in love with the wrong man too often.
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
The moon is always jealous of the heat of the day, just as the sun always longs for something dark and deep.
Alice Hoffman
Sometimes movies really are the best medicine.
