It's a funny thing about names, how they become a part of someone.

- My instructors in science and technology have taught us about how the brain works. It's full of electrical impulses. It's like a computer. If you stimulate one part of the brain with an electrode, it... - They know nothing.

I would say that most of my books are contemporary realistic fiction... a couple, maybe three, fall into the 'historic fiction' category. Science fiction is not a favorite genre of mine, though I have greatly enjoyed some of the work of Ursula LeGuin. I haven't read much science fiction so I don't know other sci-fi authors.

I think 'The Giver' is such a moral book, so filled with important truths, that I couldn't believe anyone would want to suppress it, to keep it from kids.
Lois Lowry
Image
It's just that... without the memories it's all meaningless.
Lois Lowry
Image
Sometimes I wish they'd ask for my wisdom more often - there are so many things I could tell them things I wish they would change. But they don't want change. Life here is so orderly, so predictable - so painless. It's what they've chosen.

As a shy, introverted, scholarly child (long ago) I don't know what I would have done without libraries! My family moved often. I was always the new kid in town. The library always offered me my first and most important friendship: the place where I felt right at home. I still feel that way today, about libraries.

Memory is the happiness of being alone.
