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
Feel lucky for what you have when you have it. Isn't that the point? Happily ever after doesn't mean happy forever. The ever after, what precisely was that? Your dreams, your life, your death, your everything. Was it the blank space that went on without us? The forever after we were gone? Alice Hoffman
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
Alice Hoffman quote: "That's the way love sounds, my mother told me. You think it..."
That's the way love sounds, my mother told me. You think it should feel like honey, but instead it cuts like a knife. Alice Hoffman
As they were falling asleep, Gillian could have sworn she heard Ben say Fate--as if they were meant to be together from the start and every single thing they'd ever done in their lives had been leading to this moment. If you thought that way, you could fall asleep without regret. You could put your whole life in place, with all the sadness and the sorrow, and still feel that at last you had everything you ever wanted. In spite of the lousy odds and all the wrong turns, you might actually... Alice Hoffman
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. Alice Hoffman
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. Alice Hoffman
You watch teenage girls and feel shivers up and down your arms -- those poor creatures don't know the first thing about time or agony or the price they're going to have to pay for just about everything. Alice Hoffman
Alice Hoffman quote: "It was the sort of beauty you feel so deeply it becomes..."
It was the sort of beauty you feel so deeply it becomes contagious and somehow makes you feel beautiful too. Alice Hoffman
She wishes she had time to run around the block once or twice; maybe then she wouldn't feel as if she were about to burn up or shatter. Alice Hoffman
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
I always felt and still feel that fairy tales have an emotional truth that is so deep that there are few things that really rival them. Alice Hoffman
Are people drawn to each other because of the stories they carry inside? At the library I couldn’t help but notice which patrons checked out the same books. They appeared to have nothing in common, but who could tell what a person was truly made of? The unknown, the riddle, the deepest truth. I noticed them all: the ones who’d lost their way, the ones who’d lived their lives in ashes, the ones who had to prove themselves, the ones who, like me, had lost the ability to feel. Alice Hoffman
Alice Hoffman quote: "I always quit at three when my kids come home from school so I..."
I always quit at three when my kids come home from school so I feel pretty spoiled. Alice Hoffman
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
