Lois Lowry
But then everyone would be burdened and pained. They don't want that. And that's the real reason The Receiver is so vital to them, and so honored. They selected me--and you-to lift that burden from themselves.
Lois Lowry
And they are beginning to realize that the world they live in is a place where the right thing is often hard, sometimes dangerous, and frequently unpopular.
Lois Lowry
There will always be a place for bunnies to talk in rhyme, but that's not what I do.
Lois Lowry
Kids deserve the right to think that they can change the world.
Lois Lowry
There was just a moment when things weren't quite the same, weren't quite as they had always been through the long friendship
Lois Lowry

Lois Lowry
The writer after all is only half the book, the other half is the reader.
Lois Lowry
Reading is the most important way to prepare for life.
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
