More quotes by Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman
Remember what I've told you. Remember me.
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
I think love is a huge factor in fiction and in real life. Is there a risk? Always. In fiction and in life
Alice Hoffman
I love fairy tales and feel very affected by them.
Alice Hoffman
I hate it when people tell me the end of the story because my mother always read the last page of a novel first to see whether she wanted to read it. It was a strange reading habit.
Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman
We are only an instant, that's true. But we are eternal.
Alice Hoffman
No one knows you like a person with whom you've shared a childhood. No one will ever understand you in quite the same way.
Alice Hoffman
What you dream, you can grow. Someone told me that, but I didn't believe it. I said I had nothing and that people with nothing are unable to dream. But I was wrong.
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
I read The Group by Mary McCarthy. It had tons of sex in it, or so I thought at the time.
Alice Hoffman
He wanted pain, I saw that in him, and what a man wants he will often manage to find.
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've been a screenwriter for twenty-five years. Every one of my books have been optioned for movies and I have written a few of those screenplays.
Alice Hoffman
Let everyone see the blood,' he said. 'Don't clean it up. That's the only way people remember.'... I could see the blood inside my head. It was with me forever, whether or not I wanted to forget.
Alice Hoffman
