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
What's important is the preparation for adult life, and the training you'll receive in your Assignment.

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.

Lois Lowry
It's just that... without the memories it's all meaningless.
Lois Lowry
It's the choosing that's important, isn't it?
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
- 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
Mama was crying, and the rain made it seem as if the whole world was crying.
Lois Lowry
The mind can’t explain it, and you can’t make it go away. It’s called love.
Lois Lowry
So actually, there could be parents-of-the-parents-of-the-parents-of-the parents?
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
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
He wept, and it felt as if the tears were cleansing him, as if his body needed to empty itself.
Lois Lowry
