More quotes by 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
Memory is the happiness of being alone.
Lois Lowry
It's a funny thing about names, how they become a part of someone.
Lois Lowry
It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened.
Lois Lowry
I often compare myself as a kid to my own grandchildren, who are around 11 and 14 now. That's the age kids usually read my book. And I remember myself, we'd gone through a world war. My father was an army officer so I was aware of what was going on. But I wasn't bombarded with images of catastrophe like many kids are today.
Lois Lowry
I think 'The Giver' is such a moral book, so filled with important truths, that I couldn't believe anyone would want to suppress it, to keep it from kids.
Lois Lowry
I left home at the correct time but when I was riding along near the hatchery, the crew was separating some salmon, I guess I just got distraught, watching them.
Lois Lowry
I've always been interested in medicine and was pleased when my brother became a doctor. But after thinking seriously about that field, I realized that what intrigued me was not the science, not the chemistry or biology of medicine, but the narrative - the story of each patient, each illness.
Lois Lowry
What if they were allowed to choose their own mate? And chose wrong?
Lois Lowry
If you were to be lost in the river, Jonas, your memories would not be lost with you. Memories are forever.
Lois Lowry
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.
Lois Lowry
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.
Lois Lowry
Take pride in your pain you are stronger than those who have none
Lois Lowry
-a whole world can lie before someone, if love is there when one wakes.
Lois Lowry
For a contributing citizen to be released from the community was a final decision, a terrible punishment, an overwhelming statement of failure.
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
Reading is the most important way to prepare for life.
Lois Lowry
There was just a moment when things weren't quite the same, weren't quite as they had always been through the long friendship
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
