Lois Lowry Quotes About Language

Quotes about: Language

  Sunshine, Years, Giving

  Lois Lowry (2014). “The Giver Quartet”, p.82, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

• I write books because I have always been fascinated by stories and language, and because I love thinking about what makes people tick. Writing a story... 'The Giver' or any other... is simply an exploration of the nature of behavior: why people do what they do, how it affects others, how we change and grow, and what decisions we make along the way.

  Lois Lowry

  Love, Book, Writing

• When I wrote 'The Giver,' it contained no so-called 'bad words.' It was set, after all, in a mythical, futuristic, and Utopian society. Not only was there no poverty, divorce, racism, sexism, pollution, or violence in the world of 'The Giver'; there was also careful attention paid to language: to its fluency, precision, and power.
