More quotes by Alice Hoffman
If we had paid attention, we would have understood there are some things in this world you cannot outrun.
Alice Hoffman
It was as if hope had appeared out of nowhere to settle beside her and it wasn't going anywhere, it wasn't going to desert her now.
Alice Hoffman
She was disappearing a little more each day, so thin, so frail, a wisp of smoke. One day she would surely vanish altogether, and there was no way to stop her.
Alice Hoffman
I don't really read as much as I used to. A lot of what I was looking for as an escape I find in writing. And the other thing is that I don't want to get into someone else's language when I'm working
Alice Hoffman
The nature of love had totally escaped her until now. She had thought that if you lost it, you could never get it back, like a stone thrown down a well. But it was like the water at the bottom of the well, there when you can't even see it, shifting in the dark.
Alice Hoffman
Sometimes words drew blood, they cut your tongue, they made you know things you couldn't unknow.
Alice Hoffman
The weak are cruel. The strong have no need to be.
Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman
Remember what I've told you. Remember me.
Alice Hoffman
What did you see?' he asked then. Nothing,' I told him. 'Because nothing is what you wanted me to see, though the man on the table might disagree.
Alice Hoffman
One of my favorites is Time and Again by Jack Finney. It takes place in Manhattan and goes back and forth between 1882 and the 1950s. It's really a cult book.
Alice Hoffman
When I write for teens, I feel I can cut through everything and get to the bare bones. I can get straight into the emotional world of the character.
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 read The Group by Mary McCarthy. It had tons of sex in it, or so I thought at the time.
Alice Hoffman
Margaret thought of all she knew for certain, that day would always follow night that love was never wasted nor was it lost.
Alice Hoffman
I really feel like the gift is also the curse. It's always half-and-half. Whatever brings you the most joy will also probably bring you the most pain. Always a price to pay
Alice Hoffman
Real love, after all, was worth the price you paid, however briefly it might last.
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 have nothing from my childhood. I think you carry those books with you. It's like in [Ray] Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. Books are outlawed in this future society so people become the book they love by memorizing it.
