Lloyd Alexander
Find what you want. I will find you.
Lloyd Alexander

Lloyd Alexander
If writers learn more from their books than do readers, perhaps I may have begun to learn.
Lloyd Alexander
If you want truth you should begin by giving it.
Lloyd Alexander
Story, finally, is humanity's autobiography.
Lloyd Alexander
My concern is how we learn to be genuine human beings.
Lloyd Alexander
After I saved some money, I quit work and went to a local college.
Lloyd Alexander
For man to be worthy of any rank, he must strive first to be a man.
Lloyd Alexander
If we nourish imagination, we nourish everything else.
Lloyd Alexander
Shakespeare, Dickens, Mark Twain, and so many others were my dearest friends and greatest teachers.
Lloyd Alexander
This much have I learned: A man's life weighs more than glory, and a price paid in blood is a heavy reckoning.
Lloyd Alexander
