More quotes by 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
He wept because he was afraid now that he could not save Gabriel. He no longer cared about himself
Lois Lowry
Mama was crying, and the rain made it seem as if the whole world was crying.
Lois Lowry
Kids deserve the right to think that they can change the world.
Lois Lowry
Take pride in your pain you are stronger than those who have none
Lois Lowry
Writing is self employment, so you can make your own schedule.
Lois Lowry
Evil can do anything, for a price.
Lois Lowry
Of course they needed to care. It was the meaning of everything.
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
I think when you've had success, publishers and reviewers and readers are willing to let you try something new if you've already proven yourself. They're excited about what you're doing, you have people interested in it, and actually waiting for it. It's empowering.
Lois Lowry
Time goes on, and your life is still there, and you have to live it. After a while you remember the good things more often than the bad. Then, gradually, the empty silent parts of you fill up with sounds of talking and laughter again, and the jagged edges of sadness are softened by memories.
Lois Lowry
It is very risky. But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere.
Lois Lowry
So many of my books, I don't want to say they have messages, but they have important things to say.
Lois Lowry
I feel sorry for anyone who is in a place where he feels strange and stupid.
Lois Lowry
I often compare myself as a kid to my own grandchildren, who are around 11 and 14 now. That's the age kids usually read my book. And I remember myself, we'd gone through a world war. 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
It's just that... without the memories it's all meaningless.
Lois Lowry
Ellen had said that her mother was afraid of the ocean, that it was too cold and too big. The sky was, too, thought Annemarie. The whole world was: too cold, too big. And too cruel.
Lois Lowry
I've always been interested in medicine and was pleased when my brother became a doctor. But after thinking seriously about that field, I realized that what intrigued me was not the science, not the chemistry or biology of medicine, but the narrative - the story of each patient, each illness.
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 wept, and it felt as if the tears were cleansing him, as if his body needed to empty itself.
Lois Lowry
