More quotes by Lois Lowry
Of course they needed to care. It was the meaning of everything.
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 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
Reading is the most important way to prepare for life.
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
Memory is the happiness of being alone.
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's hard to give up the being together with someone.
Lois Lowry
Even trained for years as they all had been in precision of language, what words could you use which would give another the experience of sunshine?
Lois Lowry
I knew that there had been times in the past-terrible times-when people had destroyed others in haste,in fear, and had brought about their own destruction
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
Gabe? The newchild stirred slightly in his sleep. Jonas looked over at him. There could be love, Jonas whispered.
Lois Lowry
They were satisfied with their lives which had none of the vibrance his own was taking on. And he was angry at himself, that he could not change that for them.
Lois Lowry
Gathering Blue' was a separate book. I wanted to explore what a society might become after a catastrophic world event. Only at the end did I realize I could make it connect to 'The Giver.
Lois Lowry
I don't know what you mean when you say 'the whole world' or 'generations before him.'I thought there was only us. I thought there was only now.
Lois Lowry
I was a sidelines child: never class president, never team captain, never the one with the most valentines in my box.
Lois Lowry
Mama was crying, and the rain made it seem as if the whole world was crying.
Lois Lowry
Take pride in your pain you are stronger than those who have none
Lois Lowry
If you were to be lost in the river, Jonas, your memories would not be lost with you. Memories are forever.
Lois Lowry
Once she read a book but found it distasteful because it contained adjectives.
Lois Lowry
