More quotes by 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
Do what you want, do what you will, do what you have to, do what you think you cannot.
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
Feel lucky for what you have when you have it. Isn't that the point? Happily ever after doesn't mean happy forever. The ever after, what precisely was that? Your dreams, your life, your death, your everything. Was it the blank space that went on without us? The forever after we were gone?
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
It was as though I had one map inside my head and it led to the man who was waiting for me. Someone who was alone - maybe even more alone - than I was.
Alice Hoffman
That's why there are ten gates to pass through before you reach the garden. If life were easy there would be one gate. There would be no gates at all.
Alice Hoffman
Just because something is unspoken doesn't mean that it disappears.
Alice Hoffman
Sometimes the right thing feels all wrong until it is over and done with.
Alice Hoffman
That was the way love was, invisible, there whether or not you wanted to see it or admit to it.
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
The evening had turned sweet and blue.
Alice Hoffman
Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights was extremely important to me.
Alice Hoffman
Good fortune can take forever to get to you, but as it turns out, sorrow is as quick as a shot.
Alice Hoffman
Trouble is just like love, after all it comes in unannounced and takes over before you've had a chance to reconsider, or even to think.
Alice Hoffman
I read everything of Ray Bradbury when I was 12 or 13, and I think that's the most effective time to read Bradbury. He built such a moral world, where you have to make decisions and grow up.
Alice Hoffman
What else is there to write about than love and loss?
Alice Hoffman
I read Betty Smith's A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, all of Shirley Jackson's books, which I loved.
Alice Hoffman
Love is worth the sum of itself, and nothing more.
Alice Hoffman
But what we are given is taken as well, so that we know God's glory comes to us from His will alone.
Alice Hoffman
