So many of my books, I don't want to say they have messages, but they have important things to say.
Lois Lowry
Image
The mind can’t explain it, and you can’t make it go away. It’s called love.

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

He wept, and it felt as if the tears were cleansing him, as if his body needed to empty itself.
Lois Lowry

Kids deserve the right to think that they can change the world.

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.

Early on I came to realize something, and it came from the mail I received from kids. That is, kids at that pivotal age, 12, 13 or 14, they're still deeply affected by what they read, some are changed by what they read, books can change the way they feel about the world in general. I don't think that's true of adults as much.

I was a sidelines child: never class president, never team captain, never the one with the most valentines in my box.
Lois Lowry

The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.

I feel sorry for anyone who is in a place where he feels strange and stupid.
