The nature of love had totally...

The nature of love had totally escaped her until now. She had thought that if you lost it, you could never get it back, like a stone thrown down a well. But it was like the water at the bottom of the well, there when you can't even see it, shifting in the dark.

She was so busy forgetting, she couldn't take a single step into the future.

The frightened walk away when love is difficult. I know that now. You have to be willing to give everything away. You have to be willing to end up with nothing. Only then will your heart be whole.

What men yearn for they often destroy.

That was the way illness appeared in a house, in the corners, in between floorboards, on the hooks in the closet, along with the sweaters and coats.

How could I tell the doctor what was wrong with me? I didn't understand it myself. I couldn't articulate the pain; it was the pain of nothingness. My fear was of the weather, the atmosphere, the very air. What good did safety tips do me now? 'Avoid water, metal objects, rooftops; stay off the telephone in a storm, don't think glass can protect you; even if a storm was 8 miles away, you're still not safe from a strike. Avoid life perhaps that was the answer. The number one safety tip, stay away from it all.

I wonder how a lioness will manage in a dovecote. Can you put away your teeth and claws?

That's the way love sounds, my mother told me. You think it should feel like honey, but instead it cuts like a knife.

You can't dispute the ridiculous. You can't argue reasonably with evil.

I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

No one knows you like a person...

No one knows you like a person with whom you've shared a childhood. No one will ever understand you in quite the same way.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

He stepped off the pavement like a man jumping off a bridge, as calm as a swimmer with an ocean out below. Lucy had known what he was going to do the instant their eyes met. She'd know what he intended because she would have done the very same thing if she'd had his courage. Nothing was going to break his fall.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

I wept to think that life went on even when so much had been lost, that rain still fell and myrtle grew between the rocks.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

Even as a small child, I understood that woman had secrets, and that some of these were only to be told to daughters. In this way we were bound together for eternity.

If we had paid attention, we would have understood there are some things in this world you cannot outrun.

Real love, after all, was worth the price you paid, however briefly it might last.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

Do what you want, do what you ...

Do what you want, do what you will, do what you have to, do what you think you cannot.

The more you feel, the stronger you are.

Feel lucky for what you have when you have it. Isn't that the point? Happily ever after doesn't mean happy forever.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

The voice that arises out of the silence is something no one can imagine until it is heard. It roars when it speaks, it lies to you and convinces you, it steals from you and leaves you without a single word of comfort.
