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
Revenge did that to a person; it caused even the insecure and the meek to take foolhardy chances. After a while it became a way of life; the risks felt as natural as drawing a breath. Alice Hoffman
When I looked at her, she appeared to be a different person from the one I'd known... She had rewritten everything, our history together, our friendship. Now I was the girl who'd stolen Andres; the girl who'd lied to her about who I was. Therefore, she owned me nothing. 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

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: "No one knows you like a person with whom you've shared a..."
No one knows you like a person with whom you've shared a childhood. No one will ever understand you in quite the same way. Alice Hoffman
Nothing could do that to them, that's what they used to whisper as they sat on the back stairs, in the dark and the dust, as if desire were a matter of personal choice. Alice Hoffman
Alice Hoffman quote: "History is personal, Gwen understands that now. All you are..."
History is personal, Gwen understands that now. All you are seeing is what's before you, the rest is guesswork. Alice Hoffman
