Alice Hoffman Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: b. March 16, 1952
Birthday: March 16
Always keep mint on your windowsill in August, to ensure that buzzing flies will stay outside, where they belong. Don't think the summer is over, even when roses droop and turn brown and the stars shift position in the sky. Never presume August is a safe or reliable time of the year.
