Alice Hoffman
I heard a sigh, as though the books were breathing. I felt that this was where I belonged. This was where I lived.

A red map isn't easy to follow. Any document made of blood and bones is tricky. Wrong turns are easily made, and there are often piles of stones in the road. A person has to disregard time and sorrow and all the damage done. If you follow, if you dare, the thread always leads to whomever or whatever you've forgotten.
Alice Hoffman
Pride is a funny thing it can make what is truly worthless appear to be a treasure.
Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman
Holding a tear back makes them drain upward, higher and higher, until one day your head just explodes and you're left with a stub of a neck and nothing more.
Alice Hoffman
All the characters in my books are imagined, but all have a bit of who I am in them - much like the characters in your dreams are all formed by who you are
Alice Hoffman
Every time someone forgets, someone else disappears,' my brother wrote.
Alice Hoffman
They were written on cheap blue notebooks bought by poor women. I'm interested in folk tales in the way that medicine and magic in women's stories are all kind of combined.
Alice Hoffman
Every problem has a solution, although it may not be the outcome that was originally hoped for or expected.
Alice Hoffman
Even in times when it's difficult to figure out, how do you go forward, art - and books - always help
Alice Hoffman
That was the way love was, invisible, there whether or not you wanted to see it or admit to it.
Alice Hoffman
What men yearn for they often destroy.
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
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
