More quotes by Lois Lowry
It's just that... without the memories it's all meaningless.
Lois Lowry
His mind reeled. Now, empowered to ask questions of utmost rudeness-and promised answers-he could, conceivably (though it was almost unimaginable), ask someone, some adult, his father perhaps: Do you lie? But he would have no way of knowing if the answer he received was true.
Lois Lowry
You will be faced, now, with pain of a magnitude that none of us here can comprehend because it is beyond our experience. The Receiver himself was not able to describe it, only to remind us that you would be faced with it, that you would need immense courage.
Lois Lowry
Today is declared an unscheduled holiday.
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
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
If you were to be lost in the river, Jonas, your memories would not be lost with you. Memories are forever.
Lois Lowry
I have learned over the course of my many years that it is a bad idea, usually, to investigate piteous weeping but always a fine thing to look into a giggle.
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 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
He hunched his shoulders and tried to make himself smaller in the seat. He wanted to disappear, to fade away, not to exist.
Lois Lowry
Mama was crying, and the rain made it seem as if the whole world was crying.
Lois Lowry
Teasing's part of the fun that comes before kissing
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
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
Even trained for years as they all had been in precision of language, what words could you use which would give another the experience of sunshine?
Lois Lowry
The mind can’t explain it, and you can’t make it go away. It’s called love.
Lois Lowry
Writing is hard work, and fun, and requires you to keep your backside in a chair when you would sometimes like to put it elsewhere. So the only wisdom is the advice to keep at it, I guess.
Lois Lowry
What if they were allowed to choose their own mate? And chose wrong?
Lois Lowry
Gabe? The newchild stirred slightly in his sleep. Jonas looked over at him. There could be love, Jonas whispered.
