More From Lois Lowry

Before one goes through the gate one may not be aware there is a gate one may think there is a gate to go through and look a long time for it without finding it one may find it and it may not open if it opens one may be through it as one goes through it one sees that the gate one went through was the self that went through it no one went through a gate there was no gate to go through no one ever found a gate no one ever realized there was never a gate
Thinking Self Long
The man that i named the giver passed along to the boy knowledge, history, memories, color, pain, laughter, love, and truth. every time you place a book in the hands of a child, you do the same thing. it is very risky. but each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from elsewhere. it gives him choices. it gives him freedom. those are magnificent, wonderfully unsafe things. [from her newberry award acceptance speech]
Pain Memories Laughter
One of the most powerful aspects of service - being different. what is wow? wow! is great service! wow! separates the extraordinary from the ordinary. wow! separates the strong from the weak. wow! separates the sincere from the insincere. wow! separates the pro's from the con's. wow! separates the yes's from the no's. wow! is the full measure of your personal power, and the way you use it. wow! is doing what others can't (or won't). wow! is what you do for others in an exceptional way. wow! is the ticket to success. your ticket. are you wow?
Strong Powerful Being Different
Human beings have got a lot of good, noble impulses inside them, and most people want to be good and do more good than they do evil. hell, we've had nuclear weapons now for thirty or thirty-five years and nothing's happened yet. that in itself seems to be a miracle. if reagan pushes the button or somebody pushes the button in russia or somebody pushes it in costa rica, they can put a big tombstone in outer space that says, "we gave it a good try." because we have.

A lot of things that people think are risky, i don't think are risky. i don't get all that. i think what was really risky for network television was to let cable television to take the summers.
Summer Thinking People
You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

Success Bible God
In regards to this great book [the bible], i have but to say it is the best gift god has given to man. all the good the savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. but for it we could not know right from wrong. all things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are found portrayed in it.

There is always a pressure to separate the bible from science and to separate the christian religion from things material.
