More From Alice Hoffman

The best antidote i have found is to yearn for something. as long as you yearn, you can't congeal: there is a forward motion to yearning.
Long Forward Motion Found
We yearn for tomorrow and the progress that it represents. but yesterday was once tomorrow, and where was progress in it? or we yearn for yesterday, for what was or what might have been. but as we are yearning, the present is becoming the past, so the past is nothing but our yearning for second chances.
Past Second Chance Yesterday
I cannot afford to believe that freedom from intolerance is the right of only one particular group. and i cannot afford to choose between the fronts upon which i must battle these forces of discrimination, wherever they appear to destroy me. and when they appear to destroy me, it will not be long before they appear to destroy you.
Believe Long Battle
The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. they call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. they call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. they call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. they promise the blessings of the garden of eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. every man but one a subordinate clerk in a bureau.
Men Garden Blessing
Homosexuals are not monogamous. they want to destroy the institution of marriage. it will destroy marriage. it will destroy the earth.
Earth Want Institutions
To reverse the effects of civilization would destroy the dreams of a lot of people. there's no way around it. we can talk all we want about sustainability, but there's a sense in which it doesn't matter that these people's dreams are based on, embedded in, intertwined with, and formed by an inherently destructive economic and social system. their dreams are still their dreams. what right do i -- or does anyone else -- have to destroy them. at the same time, what right do they have to destroy the world?
Dream Civilization People
Similar Quotes
I ask but one thing of you, only one, that always you will be my dream of you; that never shall i wake to find untrue all this i have believed and rested on, forever vanished, like a vision gone out into the night. alas, how few there are who strike in us a chord we knew existed, but so seldom heard its tone we tremble at the half-forgotten sound. the world is full of rude awakenings and heaven-born castles shattered to the ground, yet still our human longing vainly clings to a belief in beauty through all wrongs. o stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs!
Dream Song Heart
The devil comes to bring a fate you couldn't imagine in your wildest dream.
Dream Fate Devil
There's a certain amount of traveling in a dream deferred.
Dream Certain Amount
Work is the miracle by which talent is brought to the surface and dreams become reality.
Dream Work Reality
