I was a sidelines child: never class president, never team captain, never the one with the most valentines in my box.

Kids have no sense of appropriateness. They can ask me whatever they want. You do develop a sense of intimacy with readers, and they tell you things about themselves. During a school year, I'll get e-mails asking about the books. I'll give them information, but I won't do their homework for them.

From Lois Lowry

Kids deserve the right to think that they can change the world.

From Lois Lowry

I've always been fascinated by memory and dreams because they are both completely our own. No one else has the same memories. No one has the same dreams.

From Lois Lowry

One hopes that with a book or movie, the reader or the audience will emerge from it thinking. That's the most you can hope for: that you've raised questions that will be there for the audience to think about later.

From Lois Lowry
