Lois Lowry
It's a funny thing about names, how they become a part of someone.
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
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
Because of fear, they made shelter and found food and grew things. For the same reason, weapons were stored, waiting.
Lois Lowry
