More quotes by Lois Lowry
Sometimes I wish they'd ask for my wisdom more often - there are so many things I could tell them things I wish they would change. But they don't want change. Life here is so orderly, so predictable - so painless. It's what they've chosen.
Lois Lowry
The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.
Lois Lowry
So many of my books, I don't want to say they have messages, but they have important things to say.
Lois Lowry
He wept, and it felt as if the tears were cleansing him, as if his body needed to empty itself.
Lois Lowry
I was a sidelines child: never class president, never team captain, never the one with the most valentines in my box.
Lois Lowry
There will always be a place for bunnies to talk in rhyme, but that's not what I do.
Lois Lowry

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
Take pride in your pain you are stronger than those who have none
Lois Lowry

Lois Lowry
The writer after all is only half the book, the other half is the reader.
Lois Lowry
Fear dims when you learn things.
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
Writing is self employment, so you can make your own schedule.
Lois Lowry
What's important is the preparation for adult life, and the training you'll receive in your Assignment.
Lois Lowry
You eat canned tuna fish and you absorb protein. Then, if you're lucky, someone give you Dover Sole and you experience nourishment. It's the same with books.
Lois Lowry
What if they were allowed to choose their own mate? And chose wrong?
Lois Lowry
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.
Lois Lowry
The mind can’t explain it, and you can’t make it go away. It’s called love.
Lois Lowry
- My instructors in science and technology have taught us about how the brain works. It's full of electrical impulses. It's like a computer. If you stimulate one part of the brain with an electrode, it... - They know nothing.
Lois Lowry
