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
She was partial to emeralds; she said they were the single thing that remained constant, always green, always the same...My mother had been right, it was one thing that lasted, the one thing we could depend on. Other than our love for each other, it was all we had right now. 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
Abra DeMadrigal didn't look young enough to be my sister anymore. Her sorrow weighed her down and aged her. She was still beautiful, but she looked very far away. No wonder our people had raven eyes, so distant, so sad. No matter how wise she was, my mother looked like a woman who hadn't truely believed how much evil there was in our world. Not until this moment. Alice Hoffman
She said this world was a hole of darkness, of black light and evil and loss. But if that were true, there would never have been any bright light in our lives. My mother would never have existed, my brother would never have been such a fine man, Andres would not be waiting for me somewhere, though I didn't know where. 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
The children on the playground all heard her. They took off running together, as far away as possible from Antonia Owens, who might hex you if you did her wrong, and from her aunts, who might boil up garden toads and slip them into your stew, and from her mother, who was so angry and protective she might just freeze you in time, ensuring that you were forever trapped on the green grass at the age of ten or eleven. Alice Hoffman
I thought of the bowl of water my mother taught me to look into. It was true, everything a person ever needed to know was right there in a single bowl small enough to fit in the palm of one hand. Alice Hoffman
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
Alice Hoffman quote: "My mother's blood that would last forever after. The blood of..."
My mother's blood that would last forever after. The blood of my brother, my grandfather, my father. Alice Hoffman
My mother was teaching me that the inside of something was not necessarily its outside. Always look carefully, she told me. Look with more than your eyes. Alice Hoffman
Never look at other people's bad fortune,' my mother said. 'If you do, it will come back to find you instead of its rightful owner. Alice Hoffman
