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
Image
I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for.
Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman
Image
Good fortune can take forever to get to you, but as it turns out, sorrow is as quick as a shot.
Alice Hoffman

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.

Real love, after all, was worth the price you paid, however briefly it might last.
Alice Hoffman
Image
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
Image
The voice that arises out of the silence is something no one can imagine until it is heard. It roars when it speaks, it lies to you and convinces you, it steals from you and leaves you without a single word of comfort.
Alice Hoffman
Image
The moon is always jealous of the heat of the day, just as the sun always longs for something dark and deep.
Alice Hoffman
Image
My mother's blood that would last forever after. The blood of my brother, my grandfather, my father.
Alice Hoffman
Image
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
Image
No one knows you like a person with whom you've shared a childhood. No one will ever understand you in quite the same way.
Alice Hoffman
Image
Hearts were made for being broken. There's really no way around it if you want to be a human being.
Alice Hoffman
Image
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
Image
Sometimes the right thing feels all wrong until it is over and done with.
Alice Hoffman
Image
This was what it meant to be human, to know that time moved and all things changed.
Alice Hoffman
Image
Anyway, the sort of love that will not wait is probably best to pass by
