More quotes by Lois Lowry
Evil can do anything, for a price.
Lois Lowry
You eat canned tuna fish and you absorb protein. Then, if you're lucky, someone give you Dover Sole and you experience nourishment. It's the same with books.
Lois Lowry
There's much more. There's all that goes beyond – all ... that is Elsewhere – and all that goes back, and back, and back. I received all of those, when I was selected. And here in this room, all alone, I re-experience them again and again. It is how wisdom comes. And how we shape our future.
Lois Lowry
I was a sidelines child: never class president, never team captain, never the one with the most valentines in my box.
Lois Lowry
Fear dims when you learn things.
Lois Lowry
Writing is self employment, so you can make your own schedule.
Lois Lowry
The mind can’t explain it, and you can’t make it go away. It’s called love.
Lois Lowry
Memory is the happiness of being alone.
Lois Lowry
He wept because he was afraid now that he could not save Gabriel. He no longer cared about himself
Lois Lowry
Mama was crying, and the rain made it seem as if the whole world was crying.
Lois Lowry
I think when you've had success, publishers and reviewers and readers are willing to let you try something new if you've already proven yourself. They're excited about what you're doing, you have people interested in it, and actually waiting for it. It's empowering.
Lois Lowry
Kids deserve the right to think that they can change the world.
Lois Lowry
I don't read young adult or children's books, now that my grandchildren are beyond the age of my reading to them. I read reviews, and so I'm aware of what's out there. But I tend not to read the books.
Lois Lowry
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.
Lois Lowry
I make up the characters in my books, but of course my consciousness is filled with every child I've ever known, including my two grandchildren, my own kids (I had four) and especially myself as a child, because that person still lives inside me, too.
Lois Lowry
I left home at the correct time but when I was riding along near the hatchery, the crew was separating some salmon, I guess I just got distraught, watching them.
Lois Lowry
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
Gabe? The newchild stirred slightly in his sleep. Jonas looked over at him. There could be love, Jonas whispered.
Lois Lowry
- 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.
Lois Lowry
I feel sorry for anyone who is in a place where he feels strange and stupid.
Lois Lowry
