The adults don't know what's happening on the kids' universe and the kids don't know what's happening on the adults' universe

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

I never plot out my novels in ...

I never plot out my novels in terms of the tone of the book. Hopefully, once a story is begun it reveals itself

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

I think we are bound to, and b...

I think we are bound to, and by, nature. We may want to deny this connection and try to believe we control the external world, but every time there's a snowstorm or drought, we know our fate is tied to the world around us

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

Even in times when it's diffic...

Even in times when it's difficult to figure out, how do you go forward, art - and books - always help

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

I'm much faster now. When you ...

I'm much faster now. When you only have a certain amount of time to write, after a while you learn to use your time well or you stop writing

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

I don't really read as much as...

I don't really read as much as I used to. A lot of what I was looking for as an escape I find in writing. And the other thing is that I don't want to get into someone else's language when I'm working

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

I think love is a huge factor ...

I think love is a huge factor in fiction and in real life. Is there a risk? Always. In fiction and in life

I can't really work on more than one thing at a time

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

Anyway, the sort of love that ...

Anyway, the sort of love that will not wait is probably best to pass by

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

I really feel like the gift is...

I really feel like the gift is also the curse. It's always half-and-half. Whatever brings you the most joy will also probably bring you the most pain. Always a price to pay

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

I never see a novel as a film ...

I never see a novel as a film while I'm writing it. Mostly because novels and films are so different, and I'm such an internal novelist

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

After a while, the characters ...

After a while, the characters I'm writing begin to feel real to me. That's when I know I'm heading in the right direction

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

I feel more influenced in my own work by dreams than I do by other writers' works in a way. Or by popular culture, movies - what else is there to write about than love and loss?

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

You can try to take sorrow and make it into something enduring, meaningful and beautiful. I always feel guilty that this is my job, that I get to do this

Books may well be the only true magic.

Outside, the September air was enticingly fragrant, yellow with pollen and rich, lemony sunlight.

There was the blue sky above her and all those many roses, the ones that gave off the scent of cloves in the rain and the ones that left a trace of lemon on your fingers, the ones that were the color of blood, and those that were as white as clouds. Each one was sweeter than the next and as red as gemstones.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

Others said May was best, that sweet green time when lilacs bloomed and gardens along Main Street were filled with sugary pink peonies and Dutch tulips.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

The grass he walked through wa...

The grass he walked through was new and a sweet smell clung to his clothes. There was blue dye on his hands from the wild irises... that the color of the sky was a shade that could never be replicated in any photograph, just as Heaven could never be seen from the confines of Earth.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

It doesn't matter what people ...

It doesn't matter what people tell you. It doesn't matter what they might say. Sometimes you have to leave home. Sometimes, running away means you're headed in the exact right direction.
