I think we are bound to, and by, nature. We may want to deny this connection and try to believe we control the external world, but every time there's a snowstorm or drought, we know our fate is tied to the world around us

More quotes by Alice Hoffman
Being human means losing everything we love best in the world, she murmured as she released me. But would you ask to be anything else?
Alice Hoffman
Do what you want, do what you will, do what you have to, do what you think you cannot.
Alice Hoffman
I feel like my eyes are killing me at the end of the day and that I shouldn't use them.
Alice Hoffman
The frightened walk away when love is difficult. I know that now. You have to be willing to give everything away. You have to be willing to end up with nothing. Only then will your heart be whole.
Alice Hoffman
Avoid men who call you Baby, and women who have no friends, and dogs that scratch at their bellies and refuse to lie down at your feet. Wear dark glasses bathe with lavender oil and cool fresh water. Seek shelter from the sun at noon.
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.
Alice Hoffman
Sometimes, running away means you're headed in the exact right direction.

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.

I read everything of Ray Bradbury when I was 12 or 13, and I think that's the most effective time to read Bradbury. He built such a moral world, where you have to make decisions and grow up.
Alice Hoffman
What people read revealed so much about them that she considered our card catalog a treasure house of privileged secrets each card contained the map of an individual’s soul.
Alice Hoffman
This day is going to be awful. It's the sort of day you wouldn't mind losing completely, even if it meant your life would be twenty-four hours shorter.
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
There was the blue sky above her and all those many roses, the ones that gave off the scent of cloves in the rain and the ones that left a trace of lemon on your fingers, the ones that were the color of blood, and those that were as white as clouds. Each one was sweeter than the next and as red as gemstones.
Alice Hoffman
Hearts were made for being broken. There's really no way around it if you want to be a human being.
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
Certain things need not be said, and there’s nothing, not a whisper, prayer, not a sacrifice, not a payment of any price, that would change what’s about to happen.
Alice Hoffman
It doesn't matter what people tell you. It doesn't matter what they might say. Sometimes you have to leave home. Sometimes, running away means you're headed in the exact right direction.
Alice Hoffman
We stood and watched as God abandoned us, and then we did the best we could.
Alice Hoffman
There are some things, after all, that Sally Owens knows for certain: Always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder. Keep rosemary by your garden gate. Add pepper to your mashed potatoes. Plant roses and lavender, for luck. Fall in love whenever you can.
