More quotes by Alice Hoffman
It was a great escape for me and it was a way to take a break from what was going on in my own world, to go into another world.
Alice Hoffman
My theory is that everyone at one time or another has been at the fringe of society in some way: an outcast in high school, a stranger in a foreign country, the best at something, the worst at something, the one who's different. Being an outsider is the one thing we all have in common.
Alice Hoffman
...but now the worst crime was pretending to be something you were not.
Alice Hoffman
When all is said and done, the weather and love are the two elements about which one can never be sure.
Alice Hoffman
Burn me. Drown me. Tell me lies. I will still be who I am.
Alice Hoffman
Outside, the September air was enticingly fragrant, yellow with pollen and rich, lemony sunlight.
Alice Hoffman
I saw the end of his life right there in that single moment. His pride, his decency, his secrets, his death.
Alice Hoffman
I never even believed in happiness. I didn't think it existed. Now look at me. I'm ready to believe in just about anything.
Alice Hoffman
Still, she knows one thing for certain: never judge a relationship unless you are the one wrapped up in its arms.
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
Others said May was best, that sweet green time when lilacs bloomed and gardens along Main Street were filled with sugary pink peonies and Dutch tulips.
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
I think growing up is difficult and it's a process that I'm always interested in, with kids and adults, they are often on two different universes.
Alice Hoffman
What men yearn for they often destroy.
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
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
What else is there to write about than love and loss?
Alice Hoffman
The frightened walk away when love is difficult. I know that now. You have to be willing to give everything away. You have to be willing to end up with nothing. Only then will your heart be whole.
Alice Hoffman
A boy who is trouble is something entirely different as a man.
Alice Hoffman
It's not the lie that's the problem it's the distance the lie forges between you.
Alice Hoffman
