It's just that... without the memories it's all meaningless.
Lois Lowry
Image
I believe without a single shadow of a doubt that it is necessary for young people to learn to make choices. Learning to make right choices is the only way they will survive in an increasingly frightening world.

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 write books because I have always been fascinated by stories and language, and because I love thinking about what makes people tick. Writing a story... 'The Giver' or any other... is simply an exploration of the nature of behavior: why people do what they do, how it affects others, how we change and grow, and what decisions we make along the way.

You will be faced, now, with pain of a magnitude that none of us here can comprehend because it is beyond our experience. The Receiver himself was not able to describe it, only to remind us that you would be faced with it, that you would need immense courage.

The writer after all is only half the book, the other half is the reader.
Lois Lowry
Image
He hunched his shoulders and tried to make himself smaller in the seat. He wanted to disappear, to fade away, not to exist.
Lois Lowry
Image
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

What if they were allowed to choose their own mate? And chose wrong?
Lois Lowry
Image
I was a sidelines child: never class president, never team captain, never the one with the most valentines in my box.
Lois Lowry
Image
I don't know what you mean when you say 'the whole world' or 'generations before him.'I thought there was only us. I thought there was only now.

It is very risky. But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere.

What's important is the preparation for adult life, and the training you'll receive in your Assignment.
