Lois Lowry
They were satisfied with their lives which had none of the vibrance his own was taking on. And he was angry at himself, that he could not change that for them.
Lois Lowry
The writer after all is only half the book, the other half is the reader.
Lois Lowry
Writing is self employment, so you can make your own schedule.
Lois Lowry
His mind reeled. Now, empowered to ask questions of utmost rudeness-and promised answers-he could, conceivably (though it was almost unimaginable), ask someone, some adult, his father perhaps: Do you lie? But he would have no way of knowing if the answer he received was true.
Lois Lowry
Of course they needed to care. It was the meaning of everything.
Lois Lowry
Gathering Blue' was a separate book. I wanted to explore what a society might become after a catastrophic world event. Only at the end did I realize I could make it connect to 'The Giver.
Lois Lowry
Then I went home to continue my life, which had changed a little, as lives do every day, inching by microspecks forward toward whatever surprises are coming next.
Lois Lowry
Reading is the most important way to prepare for life.
Lois Lowry
