Lois Lowry Quote: “You suggested, Jonas, that perhaps she wasn’t brave enough? I don’t know about bravery: what it is, what it means. I do know that I sat here numb with horror. Wretched with helplessness. And I listened as Rosemary told them that she would prefer to inject herself.”
Lois Lowry Quote: “Gathering Blue’ was a separate book. I wanted to explore what a society might become after a catastrophic world event. Only at the end did I realize I could make it connect to ‘The Giver.”
Lois Lowry Quote: “Friends will take care of them. That’s what friends do.”
Lois Lowry Quote: “No one else seemed to feel this kind of passionate attachment to other humans. Not to a newchild, not to a spouse, or a coworker, or friend. She had not felt it toward her own parents or brother. But now, toward this wobbly, drooling toddler –.”

Lois Lowry Quote: “Well, things change. I just have to learn to adjust to what they change to. One.”

Lois Lowry Quote: “I was a sidelines child: never class president, never team captain, never the one with the most valentines in my box.”
Lois Lowry Quote: “The books in his own dwelling were the only books that Jonas had ever seen. He had never known that other books existed. But this room’s walls were completely covered by bookcases, filled, which reached to the ceiling. There must have been hundreds – perhaps thousands – of books, their titles embossed in shiny letters. Jonas stared at them. He couldn’t imagine what the thousands of pages contained.”
Lois Lowry Quote: “So many of my books, I don’t want to say they have messages, but they have important things to say.”
Lois Lowry Quote: “Henrik, you need a wife,” Mama scolded him. Uncle Henrik laughed and joined Mama on the steps near the kitchen door. “Why do I need a wife, when I have a sister?”

Lois Lowry Quote: “Then, in the same way that his own dwelling slipped away behind him as he rounded a corner on his bicycle, the dream slipped away from his thoughts. Very briefly, a little guiltily, he tried to grasp it back. But the feelings had disappeared. The Stirrings were gone.”

Lois Lowry Quote: “He sat in his dwelling alone, watching through the window, seeing children at play, citizens bicycling home from uneventful days at work, ordinary lives free of anguish because he had been selected, as others before him had, to bear their burden.”
Lois Lowry Quote: “That’s all that brave means – not thinking about the dangers. Just thinking about what you must do. Of course you were frightened. I was too, today. But you kept your mind on what you had to do.”
Lois Lowry Quote: “The guardians with their stern faces had no creative power. But they had strength and cunning, and they had found a way to steal and harness other people’s powers for their own needs. They were forcing the children to describe the future they wanted, not the one that could be.”
Lois Lowry Quote: “Elderberry,” the old woman told her.”
Lois Lowry Quote: “It bothered him a little to lie about small things. But he always had; he had grown up lying, and he still found it strange that the people in this place where he now lived thought lying was wrong.

The paper ladies had old-fashioned hair styles and clothes, and the girls had given them names from Mama’s very favorite book. Mama had told Annemarie and Ellen the entire story of Gone With the.”

Lois Lowry Quote: “Artist?” Thomas suggested. “That’s a word. I’ve never heard anyone say it, but I’ve read it in some of the books. It means, well, someone who is able to make something beautiful. Would that be the word?”
Lois Lowry Quote: “Forgetting her promise of no questions, Littlest suddenly asked, “Might we be human?” But Fastidious did not reply.”
Lois Lowry Quote: “I tend not to think about audience when I’m writing. Many people who read ‘The Giver’ now have their own kids who are reading it. Even from the beginning, the book attracted an audience beyond a child audience.”
Lois Lowry Quote: “There are so many good memories,” The Giver reminded Jonas. And it was true.”
Lois Lowry Quote: “You’ve ruined it now,” she said, looking sadly at the crumpled spotted wings in Bethan’s outstretched hand. “It deserved to live, and to fly.”

Release of the elderly, which was a time of celebration for a life well and fully lived; and release of a newchild, which always brought a sense of what-could-we-have-done. This was especially troubling for the Nurturers, like Father, who felt they had failed somehow. But it happened very rarely.”
Lois Lowry Quote: “Release was not the same as Loss.”
