Still anyone who trusts a serpent deserves its bite. The wise see a creature for what it is, not what it says it may be.

Some people say, 'Save yourse...

Some people say, 'Save yourself and you save your ways.' I say, 'Be yourself and you save your soul.

My darling girl, when are you...

My darling girl, when are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage." - Aunt Frances

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

Any weapon touched by a woman...

Any weapon touched by a woman, even by accident, must be cleansed with both water and prayer so that her essence would not linger, diverting the warrior who might use it next, for even the faintest touch could bring lust to that man's heart. Perhaps that meant a woman who was well trained in arms would be the superior warrior, her attention never wavering from her task.

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.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

I didn’t want to be prideful ...

I didn’t want to be prideful anymore. I wanted to be as hard as and brittle as the stones I carted into the woods. Stones that could not feel or cry or see. I wished not to feel anything at all. In no time, what I wished for, I became.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

Sometimes words drew blood, t...

Sometimes words drew blood, they cut your tongue, they made you know things you couldn't unknow.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

Love ambushed you, it lay in ...

Love ambushed you, it lay in wait, dormant for days or years. It was the red thread, the peach stone, the kiss, the forgiveness. It came after you, it escaped you, it was invisible, it was everything.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

The frightened walk away when...

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.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

Love was like that, like a dr...

Love was like that, like a dream you didn't quite understand, one in which you didn't necessarily know what you were looking at until it was right in front of you.

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

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

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

The nature of love had totall...

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.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

If every life is a river, the...

If every life is a river, then it's little wonder that we do not even notice the changes that occur until we are far out in the darkest sea. One day you look around and nothing is familiar, not even your own face. My name once meant daughter, grandaughter, friend, sister, beloved. Now those words mean only what their letters spell out; Star in the night sky. Truth in the darkness. I have crossed over to a place where I never thought I'd be. I am someone I would have never imagined. A secret. A dream. I am this, body and soul. Burn me. Drown me. Tell me lies. I will still be who I am.

Every fairy tale had a bloody lining. Every one had teeth and claws.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

It was the sort of beauty you feel so deeply it becomes contagious and somehow makes you feel beautiful too.

Every time someone forgets, someone else disappears,' my brother wrote.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

Everything was red, the air, ...

Everything was red, the air, the sun, whatever I looked at. Except for him. I fell in love with someone who was human. I watched him walk through the hills and come back in the evening when his work was through. I saw things no woman would see: that he knew how to cry, that he was alone. I cast myself at him, like a fool, but he didn't see me. And then one day he noticed I was beautiful and he wanted me. He broke me off and took me with him, in his hands, and I didn't care that I was dying until I actually was.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

I wasn't good company, that was true, and people avoided me, but that was all right. I was too busy dreaming.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

Avoid men who call you Baby, ...

Avoid men who call you Baby, and women who have no friends, and dogs that scratch at their bellies and refuse to lie down at your feet. Wear dark glasses; bathe with lavender oil and cool fresh water. Seek shelter from the sun at noon.
