Existence

Quote_1.png
Alice Hoffman
"I KNEW I MUST do all as I was told, yet something burned inside me, a seed of defiance that must have derived from a long-ago ancestor. Perhaps my mind was inflamed from the books I had read and the worlds I had imagined."

Self

Quote_1.png
Alice Hoffman

Observation

Quote_1.png
Alice Hoffman
"If every life is a river, then it's little wonder that we do not even notice the changes that occur until we are far out in the darkest sea. One day you look around and nothing is familiar, not even your own face. My name once meant daughter, grandaughter, friend, sister, beloved. Now those words mean only what their letters spell out; Star in the night sky. Truth in the darkness.I have crossed over to a place where I never thought I'd be. I am someone I would have never imagined. A secret. A dream. I am this, body and soul. Burn me. Drown me. Tell me lies. I will still be who I am."

Self

Quote_1.png
Alice Hoffman

Education

Quote_1.png
Alice Hoffman
"I head a bitterness that hadn't been there before. Something was changing inside him. He'd had enough of following the rules."

Self

Quote_1.png
Alice Hoffman
"Helplessness and anger make for predictable behavior: Children are certain to shove each other and pull hair, teenagers will call each other names and cry, and grown women who are sisters will say words so cruel that each syllable will take on the form of a snake, although such a snake often circles in on itself to eat its own tail once the words are said aloud."

Psychology

Alice Hoffman
"Early on Monday evening, when the sky was the color of a velvet ribbon falling over the hills."
