More quotes by 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
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
Kids deserve the right to think that they can change the world.
Lois Lowry
It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened.
Lois Lowry
Fear dims when you learn things.
Lois Lowry
I have learned over the course of my many years that it is a bad idea, usually, to investigate piteous weeping but always a fine thing to look into a giggle.
Lois Lowry
Even trained for years as they all had been in precision of language, what words could you use which would give another the experience of sunshine?
Lois Lowry
So actually, there could be parents-of-the-parents-of-the-parents-of-the parents?
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
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
Of course they needed to care. It was the meaning of everything.
Lois Lowry
But then everyone would be burdened and pained. They don't want that. And that's the real reason The Receiver is so vital to them, and so honored. They selected me--and you-to lift that burden from themselves.
Lois Lowry
He was free to enjoy the breathless glee that overwhelmed him: the speed, the clear cold air, the total silence, the feeling of balance and excitement and peace.
Lois Lowry
It's a funny thing about names, how they become a part of someone.
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
That's why they call you Seer. You see more than most.
Lois Lowry
Memory is the happiness of being alone.
Lois Lowry
I feel sorry for anyone who is in a place where he feels strange and stupid.
Lois Lowry
Because of fear, they made shelter and found food and grew things. For the same reason, weapons were stored, waiting.
Lois Lowry
It's just that... without the memories it's all meaningless.
Lois Lowry
