More quotes by 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
Then I went home to continue my life, which had changed a little, as lives do every day, inching by microspecks forward toward whatever surprises are coming next.
Lois Lowry
Fear dims when you learn things.
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
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
Once she read a book but found it distasteful because it contained adjectives.
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
Memory is the happiness of being alone.
Lois Lowry
What if they were allowed to choose their own mate? And chose wrong?
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
I was a sidelines child: never class president, never team captain, never the one with the most valentines in my box.
Lois Lowry
It's just that... without the memories it's all meaningless.
Lois Lowry
Teasing's part of the fun that comes before kissing
Lois Lowry
I don't know what you mean when you say 'the whole world' or 'generations before him.'I thought there was only us. I thought there was only now.
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
Of course they needed to care. It was the meaning of everything.
Lois Lowry
Kids deserve the right to think that they can change the world.
Lois Lowry
I have been fortunate. I have done so many things and enjoyed so many things and had such a great life, not to imply that it is ending, but that there aren't many things that I feel I have left undone.
Lois Lowry
The mind can’t explain it, and you can’t make it go away. It’s called love.
Lois Lowry
