Lois Lowry

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
Teasing's part of the fun that comes before kissing
Lois Lowry
Kids deserve the right to think that they can change the world.
Lois Lowry

Lois Lowry
There will always be a place for bunnies to talk in rhyme, but that's not what I do.
Lois Lowry
...now he saw the familiar wide river beside the path differently. He saw all of the light and color and history it contained and carried in its slow - moving water and he knew that there was an Elsewhere from which it came, and an Elsewhere to which it was going
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
