More quotes by 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
I wrote to find beauty and purpose, to know that love is possible and lasting and real.... Once I got to my desk, once I started writing, I still believed anything was possible.
Alice Hoffman
My darling girl, when are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage. - Aunt Frances
Alice Hoffman
The original fairy tale was about the youngest sister going into a room in the castle and finding all the bodies of the wives that came before her - she is confronted with truth, thinking about how often we think we know people and we really don't.
Alice Hoffman
The nature of love had totally escaped her until now. She had thought that if you lost it, you could never get it back, like a stone thrown down a well. But it was like the water at the bottom of the well, there when you can't even see it, shifting in the dark.
Alice Hoffman
Unfinished business always comes back to haunt you, and a man who swears he'll love you forever isn't finished with you until he's done.
Alice Hoffman
Sometimes movies really are the best medicine.
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
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
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
The moon is always jealous of the heat of the day, just as the sun always longs for something dark and deep.
Alice Hoffman
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
Among men and women, those in love do not always announce themselves with declarations and vows. But they are the ones who weep when you're gone. Who miss you every single night, especially when the sky is so deep and beautiful, and the ground so very cold.
Alice Hoffman
Still anyone who trusts a serpent deserves its bite. The wise see a creature for what it is, not what it says it may be.
Alice Hoffman
Sometimes, running away means you're headed in the exact right direction.
Alice Hoffman
No one knows how to write a novel until it's been written
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
In a world of sorrow, love was an act of will. All you needed were the right ingredients.
Alice Hoffman
...but now the worst crime was pretending to be something you were not.
Alice Hoffman
It was as if hope had appeared out of nowhere to settle beside her and it wasn't going anywhere, it wasn't going to desert her now.
Alice Hoffman
