Lois Lowry
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.

My father was an army officer so I was aware of what was going on. But I wasn't bombarded with images of catastrophe like many kids are today.
Lois Lowry
As a shy, introverted, scholarly child (long ago) I don't know what I would have done without libraries! My family moved often. I was always the new kid in town. The library always offered me my first and most important friendship: the place where I felt right at home. I still feel that way today, about libraries.
Lois Lowry
What if they were allowed to choose their own mate? And chose wrong?
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
Reading is the most important way to prepare for life.
Lois Lowry
Because of fear, they made shelter and found food and grew things. For the same reason, weapons were stored, waiting.
Lois Lowry
