More quotes by 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

Lois Lowry

Lois Lowry
So actually, there could be parents-of-the-parents-of-the-parents-of-the parents?
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
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
It's the choosing that's important, isn't it?
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
It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened.
Lois Lowry
There will always be a place for bunnies to talk in rhyme, but that's not what I do.
Lois Lowry
Memory is the happiness of being alone.
Lois Lowry
Kids deserve the right to think that they can change the world.
Lois Lowry
I see all of them. All the colors.
