Alice Hoffman Quote: “Some people know the exact moment when they’ve lost everything. They can look back and see it plain as day and for the life of them they can’t understand why they didn’t spot the situation as it was happening.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “It’s for your own good,” she said tenderly. “All I want for you is a normal life.” “Mother,” Franny sighed. “What makes you think that’s what I want?”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “She doesn’t have a mother anymore. There’s no one to whom she’s the most important person in the world.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “Our mother had taught us that when the moon was white, reappearing after its absence, it was showing us that what had been hidden could easily become whole again.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “Fairytales were maps formed of blood and hair and bones; they were the knots of the sub-conscious unwound. Every word in every tale was real and as true as apples and stones. They all led to the story inside the story.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “You rescue something and you’re responsible for it. But maybe that’s what love is. Maybe it’s like a hit-and-run accident; it smashes you before you can think. You do it no matter the cost and you keep on running.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “When you help others, your own troubles aren’t as heavy. In fact, you can fold them like a handkerchief and place them in your pocket. They’re still there, but they’re not the only thing you carry.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “If a woman is in trouble, she should always wear blue for protection.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “That was how evil spoke. It made its own corrupt sense; it swore that the good were evil, and that evil had come to save mankind. It brought up ancient fears and scattered them on the street like pearls.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “Real love, after all, was worth the price you paid, however briefly it might last.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “I take responsibility for the man I used to be, for I carry him with me. As strong as I am, he’s a heavy burden.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “As Gary understands it, the greatest portion of grief is the one you dish out for yourself, and he and Sally have both served themselves from the same table tonight, the only difference being that he knows what he’s missing, and she has no idea what is causing her to cry as she drives down the Turnpike.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “He had appeared beside her because she had wanted him to. She had called him to her, and was calling him still. Even when she fell asleep, she dreamed of water, as if the world were topsy-turvy and everything she cared about had been lost in the deep. She plunged through the green waves with her eyes wide open, searching for the world as she’d known it, but that world no longer existed; everything that had once been solid was liquid now, and the birds swam alongside the fish.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “When Juliet came flying down the hallway, Stella didn’t recognize her friend. Juliet hadn’t bothered with makeup; she was wearing a nightgown underneath her raincoat and had on plastic flip-flops. This was the way loved walked in, barely dressed, confused, panic-stricken, overcome, not caring what anyone thought or what they believed.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “This was the way love walked in, barely dressed, confused, panic-stricken, overcome, not caring what anyone thought or what they believed.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “She, who prided herself on her tough exterior, could always be undone by the beauty of flight.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “Love like this wasn’t what he’d planned or wanted or expected, surely it was indeed a trap, for even when you tried to run away, it followed you through the grass and lay down beside you, it overtook common sense and willpower.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “Things without all remedy should be without regard. But what you can cure, do so willingly.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “Believers with nothing to believe in.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “I also like the whole idea of fairy tales and folk tales being a woman’s domain, considered a lesser domain at the time they were told.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “Tell a witch to go, and she’ll plant her feet on the ground and stay exactly where she is. Instead of doing as she’s told, she’ll take a knife to her arm and let her blood drip onto the ground, and in that way she will claim the earth for herself and for her daughters and for all the daughters who follow her. It is the future she’s claiming, the right to be a woman who can do as she pleases.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “As I turned the pages, I felt as if there were bees on my fingertips, for I had never felt so alive as when reading.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “You couldn’t see love, or touch it, or taste it, yet it could destroy you and leave you in the dark, chasing after your own destiny.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “I understood wanting to forget. Things that made you remember cut like pieces of glass.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “She wishes he would come to her tonight, climb in through the window to lie down beside her and explain how it’s possible to love someone so much and still manage to carry on when you have to let them go.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “People really could be one way outside, when inside they were torn to shreds, a fine white powder of grief and regret replacing blood and bones, and no one even noticed.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “Nowadays, she doesn’t even look in a mirror. She’s afraid no one will be staring back at her.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “Some things are best remembered the way you want to remember them, like this road, these stars, this girl right beside him as they walk into the center of the cold night, looking straight ahead.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “Then I understood that when someone begins to tell you her story, you are entwined together. Perhaps even more so if the ending hasn’t been divulged.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “No one knows how to write a novel until it’s been written.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “I don’t really read as much as I used to. A lot of what I was looking for as an escape I find in writing. And the other thing is that I don’t want to get into someone else’s language when I’m working.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “A boy who is trouble is something entirely different as a man.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “My father was both a scientist and a magician, but he declared that it was in literature wherein we discovered our truest natures.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “Because we were Russian, sadness came naturally to us. But so did reading. In my family, a book was a life raft.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “Even with her failing vision, Violet West could see the scars. They had turned purple, almost red, from the icy cold, the color of the pears on the tree in the yard, the color of blood that can’t be washed away and of things that can never be undone.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “Weapons are kept from women, but such a naming suggests that perhaps men fear our talents in war as well as our desire for peace.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “She’s beginning to wonder if perhaps she’s haunting herself.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “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 Quote: “Life is a mystery, and it should be so, for the sorrow that accompanies being human and the choices one will have to make are a burden, too heavy for most to know before their time comes.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “He carries books everywhere he goes so he won’t have to be bored by people.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “I can’t really work on more than one thing at a time.”

Alice Hoffman Quote: “But rules were never the point. It was finding out who you were.”
Alice Hoffman Quote: “Everything we knew condemned us, and our questioning condemned us most of all. Knowledge was the way of our people, and knowledge was dangerous. It was the first thing that freed you and the thing that put you in peril. It was the key to the ten gates. I saw them clearly now, each and every one, the gates that were there for me. Ashes, Bones, Grass, Heart, Stone, Love, Sorrow, Blood, Earth, Sky.”
