More quotes by Alice Hoffman
I love science fiction but especially his because it's so humane.
Alice Hoffman
He started to look at me in a manner I recognized: it was the way I looked at a new book, one I had never read before, one that surprised me with all it had to say.
Alice Hoffman
That's the way love sounds, my mother told me. You think it should feel like honey, but instead it cuts like a knife.
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
Sometimes words drew blood, they cut your tongue, they made you know things you couldn't unknow.
Alice Hoffman
A boy who is trouble is something entirely different as a man.
Alice Hoffman
Are people drawn to each other because of the stories they carry inside?
Alice Hoffman
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.
Alice Hoffman
Sally...can no longer think of love as a reality, or even as a possibility, however remote.
Alice Hoffman
The adults don't know what's happening on the kids' universe and the kids don't know what's happening on the adults' universe
Alice Hoffman
Every problem has a solution, although it may not be the outcome that was originally hoped for or expected.
Alice Hoffman
Sometimes the right thing feels all wrong until it is over and done with.
Alice Hoffman
My grief was cold. It was nothing to share. It was nothing to speak about, nothing to feel.
Alice Hoffman
I also like the whole idea of fairy tales and folk tales being a woman's domain, considered a lesser domain at the time they were told.
Alice Hoffman
Still, I couldn't help but wonder if it was a mistake for people like us to be tied to a place. If we weren't meant to be ready and willing to wander. If everything we needed was contained in who we were. And what we remember.
Alice Hoffman
This was what it meant to be human, to know that time moved and all things changed.
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
Love is worth the sum of itself, and nothing more.
Alice Hoffman
Real love, after all, was worth the price you paid, however briefly it might last.
Alice Hoffman
Even as a small child, I understood that woman had secrets, and that some of these were only to be told to daughters. In this way we were bound together for eternity.
