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
Maybe some love was guaranteed. Maybe it fit inside you and around you like skin and bones.
Alice Hoffman
What else is there to write about than love and loss?
Alice Hoffman
That was the way love was, invisible, there whether or not you wanted to see it or admit to it.
Alice Hoffman
He has the ability to catch someone by the way that he looks at her, and make her wish he would go on looking.
Alice Hoffman
But most important of all, she explained that it was all right to say 'No. I disagree.' that was a gift. I understood it was power. The power to think my own thoughts. The power to believe in myself.
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
