More quotes by Lloyd Alexander
Once you have courage to look upon evil, seeing it for what it is and naming it by its true name, it is powerless against you, and you can destroy it.
Lloyd Alexander
Is there worse evil than that which goes in the mask of good?
Lloyd Alexander
...alas, raising a young lady is a mystery even beyond an enchanter's skill.
Lloyd Alexander
What! I don't care about being a princess! And since I'm already a young lady, how else could I behave? That's like asking a fish not to swim! ~Princess Eilonwy, daughter of Angharad, daughter of Regat, of the Royal house of Llyr
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
That is why your sacrifice was all the more difficult. You chose to be a hero not through enchantment but through your own manhood.
Lloyd Alexander
What you may seek and what you may find are not always one.
Lloyd Alexander
I can't single out one of my books or characters as a favorite. In the same way that I don't have a favorite kidney, my books are organically all part of myself. I might even say that put all together, the books are one ongoing, developing story - which, not coincidentally, happens to be my own lifestory.
Lloyd Alexander
I only suggest to you: Will you dwell on killing this man? You wish for revenge? If you do, he has already killed you by slow poison. So, let it go. Why waste your time? His life will see to his death.
Lloyd Alexander
There is truth in all things, if you understand them well.
Lloyd Alexander
Thinking is a bit uncomfortable, but you'll get used to it. A matter of time and practice.
Lloyd Alexander
Are you slow-witted? I'm so sorry for you. It's terrible to be dull and stupid.
Lloyd Alexander
My concern is how we learn to be genuine human beings.
Lloyd Alexander
If you want truth you should begin by giving it.
Lloyd Alexander
Using the device of an imaginary world allows me in some strange way to go to the central issues - it's one of many ways to express feelings about real people, about real human relationships.
Lloyd Alexander
A man who claims to be fearless is an idiot or a liar.
Lloyd Alexander
Keep out of this, Lucian said. I'm not smiting anybody. You're showing mercy. Catch-a-Tick nodded. That's heroic, too. But not as good as smiting.
Lloyd Alexander
Find what you want. I will find you.
Lloyd Alexander
I can't stand people who say 'I told you so.' That's worse than somebody coming up and eating your dinner before you have a chance to sit down.
Lloyd Alexander
For man to be worthy of any rank, he must strive first to be a man.
Lloyd Alexander
