More quotes by Alice Hoffman
You can't dispute the ridiculous. You can't argue reasonably with evil.
Alice Hoffman
Do you ever just put your arms out and just spin and spin and spin? Well, that's what love is like everything inside of you tells you to stop before you fall, but for some reason you just keep going.
Alice Hoffman
Any institution becomes a community - whether it's a high school or a boarding school or a publishing company or a small town where everybody knows certain things about people.
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
He has the ability to catch someone by the way that he looks at her, and make her wish he would go on looking.

My theory is that everyone at one time or another has been at the fringe of society in some way: an outcast in high school, a stranger in a foreign country, the best at something, the worst at something, the one who's different. Being an outsider is the one thing we all have in common.
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. The ever after, what precisely was that? Your dreams, your life, your death, your everything. Was it the blank space that went on without us? The forever after we were gone?
Alice Hoffman
I always felt and still feel that fairy tales have an emotional truth that is so deep that there are few things that really rival them
Alice Hoffman
Once you know some things, you can't unknow them. It's a burden that can never be given away.
Alice Hoffman
I never plot out my novels in terms of the tone of the book. Hopefully, once a story is begun it reveals itself
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
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
Being an outsider is the one thing we all have in common.
Alice Hoffman
Burn me. Drown me. Tell me lies. I will still be who I am.
Alice Hoffman
The weak are cruel. The strong have no need to be.
Alice Hoffman
We stood and watched as God abandoned us, and then we did the best we could.
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 growing up is difficult and it's a process that I'm always interested in, with kids and adults, they are often on two different universes.
Alice Hoffman
Young people believe that regret is something you will never feel if you simply do as you please, but sometimes it is a matter of degree.
Alice Hoffman
You have to choose the voice you are going to trust. You can't listen to everyone.
