Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman
You build your world around someone, and then what happens when he disappears? Where do you go-into pieces, into atoms, into the arms of another man? You go shopping, you cook dinner, you work odd hours, you make love to someone else on June nights. But you're not really there.
Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman
You cannot dispute the ridiculous. You cannot argue reasonably with evil.
Alice Hoffman
Hawthorne has given us a tradition that some people refer to as Yankee Magic Realism, and I do think there is a certain quality to the landscape that definitely leads into the dark woods.
Alice Hoffman
Cleaning up after themselves was a low priority for Margo and my mother. They had both recovered from cancer scares, failed marriages, and lost hope in their opinion, dirt could wait.
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 wasn't good company, that was true, and people avoided me, but that was all right. I was too busy dreaming.
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
You can't dispute the ridiculous. You can't argue reasonably with evil.
Alice Hoffman
We stood and watched as God abandoned us, and then we did the best we could.
