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.

Ironically, now that my child...

Ironically, now that my children are older and gone quite a bit, I find it harder to work when they're not around. Too much free time!

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

I think we are bound to, and ...

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.

The original fairy tale was a...

The original fairy tale was about the youngest sister going into a room in the castle and finding all the bodies of the wives that came before her - she is confronted with truth, thinking about how often we think we know people and we really don't.

Mothers always find ways to f...

Mothers always find ways to fit in the work - but then when you're working, you feel that you should be spending time with your children and then when you're with your children, you're thinking about working.

I feel more influenced in my ...

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?

No one knows how to write a novel until it's been written.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

They were written on cheap bl...

They were written on cheap blue notebooks bought by poor women. I'm interested in folk tales in the way that medicine and magic in women's stories are all kind of combined.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

The adults don't know what's ...

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.

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 thought that love was a riv...

I thought that love was a river, endless and deep. I thought it merely happened, washing over you like water. It was nothing to search for, nothing to force. I didn't understand that even when we can't control our fate, we alone have the last say in matters of the heart. We can give it freely, even in the worst of times, even when it isn't returned.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

If we had paid attention, we ...

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

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

This day is going to be awful...

This day is going to be awful. It's the sort of day you wouldn't mind losing completely, even if it meant your life would be twenty-four hours shorter.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

She didn't like being twelve....

She didn't like being twelve. It felt like someplace between who she'd been and who she was about to be. It felt like no place at all.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

You can't dispute the ridicul...

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

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

There was the blue sky above ...

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

Perhaps it is possible to discover more in silence than in speech. Or perhaps it is only that those who are silent among us learn to listen.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

Pride is a funny thing; it can make what is truly worthless appear to be a treasure.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

My mother, Abra, had taught me that all people are made from the same dust. When our days here are gone, all men and women enter the same garden.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

You build your world around s...

You build your world around someone, and then what happens when he disappears? Where do you go-into pieces, into atoms, into the arms of another man? You go shopping, you cook dinner, you work odd hours, you make love to someone else on June nights. But you're not really there.
