More quotes by Lois Lowry
I see all of them. All the colors.
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
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
It is very risky. But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere.
Lois Lowry
Today is declared an unscheduled holiday.
Lois Lowry
Fear dims when you learn things.
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
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. I don't think that's true of adults as much.
Lois Lowry
You eat canned tuna fish and you absorb protein. Then, if you're lucky, someone give you Dover Sole and you experience nourishment. It's the same with books.
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
Reading is the most important way to prepare for life.
Lois Lowry
...now he saw the familiar wide river beside the path differently. He saw all of the light and color and history it contained and carried in its slow - moving water and he knew that there was an Elsewhere from which it came, and an Elsewhere to which it was going
Lois Lowry
I feel sorry for anyone who is in a place where he feels strange and stupid.
Lois Lowry
Take pride in your pain you are stronger than those who have none
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
Kids deserve the right to think that they can change the world.
Lois Lowry
He was free to enjoy the breathless glee that overwhelmed him: the speed, the clear cold air, the total silence, the feeling of balance and excitement and peace.
Lois Lowry
