More quotes by Alice Hoffman
I must keep my head and not give in to desire, for desire is what causes women to drown.
Alice Hoffman
Weapons are kept from women, but such a naming suggests that perhaps men fear our talents in war as well as our desire for peace.
Alice Hoffman
Some fates are guaranteed, no matter who tries to intervene.
Alice Hoffman
You can never tell about a person by guessing...that's why language was invented. Otherwise, we'd all be like dogs, sniffing each other to find out where we stood.
Alice Hoffman
You are only worthy of what you prove yourself to be.
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.
Alice Hoffman
I just finished Colson Whitehead's The Underground Railroad, which I think is a work of genius.
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
Do what you want, do what you will, do what you have to, do what you think you cannot.
Alice Hoffman
When you start writing the magic comes when the characters seem to take on a life of their own and write the words for themselves.
Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman
Most people know that Ray Bradbury is one of my favorite authors.
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
Every fairy tale had a bloody lining. Every one had teeth and claws.
Alice Hoffman
I feel more influenced in my own work by dreams than I do by other writers' works in a way. Or by popular culture, movies - what else is there to write about than love and loss?
Alice Hoffman
Another world must surely exist somewhere one where she would be known in some deep way that was far beyond words.
Alice Hoffman
I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for.
Alice Hoffman
When I looked at her, she appeared to be a different person from the one I'd known... She had rewritten everything, our history together, our friendship. Now I was the girl who'd stolen Andres the girl who'd lied to her about who I was. Therefore, she owned me nothing.
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 feel as if when you love a book it becomes a part of you whether you have it on your shelves or not.
Alice Hoffman
