More quotes by 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
The writer after all is only half the book, the other half is the reader.
Lois Lowry
It is very risky. But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere.
Lois Lowry
It's hard to give up the being together with someone.
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
Today is declared an unscheduled holiday.
Lois Lowry
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.
Lois Lowry
Of course they needed to care. It was the meaning of everything.
Lois Lowry
Fear dims when you learn things.
Lois Lowry
Ellen had said that her mother was afraid of the ocean, that it was too cold and too big. The sky was, too, thought Annemarie. The whole world was: too cold, too big. And too cruel.
Lois Lowry
It's the choosing that's important, isn't it?
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
As a shy, introverted, scholarly child (long ago) I don't know what I would have done without libraries! My family moved often. I was always the new kid in town. The library always offered me my first and most important friendship: the place where I felt right at home. I still feel that way today, about libraries.
Lois Lowry
I have learned over the course of my many years that it is a bad idea, usually, to investigate piteous weeping but always a fine thing to look into a giggle.
Lois Lowry
Because of fear, they made shelter and found food and grew things. For the same reason, weapons were stored, waiting.
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
What's important is the preparation for adult life, and the training you'll receive in your Assignment.
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
He wept, and it felt as if the tears were cleansing him, as if his body needed to empty itself.
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
