More quotes by Lloyd Alexander
If you want truth you should begin by giving it.
Lloyd Alexander
Life's a forge - Yes, and hammer and anvil, too. You'll be roasted, smelted, and pounded, and you'll scarce know what's happening to you. But stand proudly to it. Metal's worthless till it is shaped and tempered. More labor than luck. Face the pounding, don't fear the proving and you'll stand well against any hammer and anvil.

Lloyd Alexander

Lloyd Alexander
I loved all the world's mythologies.
Lloyd Alexander
By all means, cried the bard, his eyes lighting up. A Fflam to the rescue! Storm the castle! Carry it by assault! Batter down the gates! There's not much of it left to storm, said Eilonwy. Oh? said Fflewddur, with disappointment. Very well, we shall do the best we can.
Lloyd Alexander
Forgive me....I called you an idiot. I spoke too hastily. You are not. Had I given it more thought, I would have called you a scoundrel.
Lloyd Alexander
Story, finally, is humanity's autobiography.
Lloyd Alexander
Child, child, do you not see? For each of us comes a time when we must be more than what we are.
Lloyd Alexander
You know how chickens are, imagining the world coming to an end one moment, then pecking corn the next.
