It is very risky. But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere.
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
Time goes on, and your life is still there, and you have to live it. After a while you remember the good things more often than the bad. Then, gradually, the empty silent parts of you fill up with sounds of talking and laughter again, and the jagged edges of sadness are softened by memories.
Lois Lowry
The mind can’t explain it, and you can’t make it go away. It’s called love.
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
Memory is the happiness of being alone.
Lois Lowry
I knew that there had been times in the past-terrible times-when people had destroyed others in haste,in fear, and had brought about their own destruction
Lois Lowry

Lois Lowry
