Always keep mint on your windowsill in August, to ensure that buzzing flies will stay outside, where they belong. Don't think the summer is over, even when roses droop and turn brown and the stars shift position in the sky. Never presume August is a safe or reliable time of the year.

That was the way love was, invisible, there whether or not you wanted to see it or admit to it.
Alice Hoffman
Image
Pride is a funny thing it can make what is truly worthless appear to be a treasure.
Alice Hoffman
Image
In losing a friend, she is reminded of all she has lost and all she stands to lose again. There is nothing to be done to make it any easier. We all grieve alone.
Alice Hoffman
Image
My mother, Abra, had taught me that all people are made from the same dust. When our days here are gone, all men and women enter the same garden.
Alice Hoffman
Image
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.
