More Quotes by Alice Hoffman
Just because something is unspoken doesn't mean that it disappears.
Once you know some things, you can't unknow them. It's a burden that can never be given away.
Some things, however, are true no matter how hard you might try to block them out, and a lie is always a lie, no matter how prettily told. Some doors, once they're opened, can never be closed again, just as some trust, once it's been lost, can never be won back.
Still anyone who trusts a serpent deserves its bite. The wise see a creature for what it is, not what it says it may be.
Pride is a funny thing; it can make what is truly worthless appear to be a treasure.
Here's the thing about luck...you don't know if it's good or bad until you have some perspective.
It doesn't matter what people tell you. It doesn't matter what they might say. Sometimes you have to leave home. Sometimes, running away means you're headed in the exact right direction.
Real love, after all, was worth the price you paid, however briefly it might last.
The weak are cruel. The strong have no need to be.
Do what you want, do what you will, do what you have to, do what you think you cannot.
