More quotes by Lois Lowry
There will always be a place for bunnies to talk in rhyme, but that's not what I do.
Lois Lowry
Teasing's part of the fun that comes before kissing
Lois Lowry
It's the choosing that's important, isn't it?
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
Because of fear, they made shelter and found food and grew things. For the same reason, weapons were stored, waiting.
Lois Lowry

Lois Lowry
It's hard to give up the being together with someone.
Lois Lowry
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.
Lois Lowry
For a contributing citizen to be released from the community was a final decision, a terrible punishment, an overwhelming statement of failure.

Lois Lowry
It's a funny thing about names, how they become a part of someone.
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
Kids deserve the right to think that they can change the world.
Lois Lowry
What's important is the preparation for adult life, and the training you'll receive in your Assignment.
Lois Lowry
It's just that... without the memories it's all meaningless.
Lois Lowry
I don't read young adult or children's books, now that my grandchildren are beyond the age of my reading to them. I read reviews, and so I'm aware of what's out there. But I tend not to read the books.
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
I see all of them. All the colors.
Lois Lowry
