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.

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

It was the sort of beauty you...

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

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

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

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.

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.

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

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

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

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.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

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 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

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

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.

Emily Bront?'s "Wuthering Heights" was extremely important to me.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

What I like about fairy tales...

What I like about fairy tales is the language and the matter-of-fact way of introducing magic, where it's accepted that a fox could talk or a gate could just appear in a wall. I think fairy tales are so psychological.

In "Faithful," Ray Bradbury is discussed a lot. The characters read "The Illustrated Man."

But most important of all, she explained that it was all right to say 'No. I disagree.' that was a gift. I understood it was power. The power to think my own thoughts. The power to believe in myself.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

I know who you are in your heart,' Andres said. 'That's all that matters.' And that was it. That was the moment. Now I knew how I would feel if I ever lost him. That was how you knew love. My mother had told me that. All you had to do was imagine your life without the other person, and if the thought alone made you shiver, then you knew.

Alice Hoffman 271 quotes

This kind of knowing you can never tell to anyone. If you want us to survive, you cannot trust a soul'... 'Not for any reason on this earth. You can never tell.

I loved him even now, as he took a knife to my throat, as I drowned in blood, as I whispered "Cousin, you were wrong. We were born to live.
