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.

More quotes by Lloyd Alexander
-I'm trying to make myself invisible. -That's an odd thing to attempt.
Lloyd Alexander
Are you slow-witted? I'm so sorry for you. It's terrible to be dull and stupid.
Lloyd Alexander
Just because you've seen something doesn't mean you'll stop looking. There's always something you didn't see before.
Lloyd Alexander
Is there not glory enough in living the days given to us? You should know there is adventure in simply being among those we love and the things we love, and beauty, too.
Lloyd Alexander
-He loved her...It was noble of him. It was beautiful. -It was stupid.
Lloyd Alexander
There is truth in all things, if you understand them well.
Lloyd Alexander
Fantasy, in addition to being great storytelling, moves us at some unique and profound level. It has, I think, the power of mythology, or ancient dreams we have always and forever shared. In it, we find our real world and our real selves.
Lloyd Alexander
Hope is an essential thread in the fabric of all fantasies, an Ariadne's thread to guide us out of the labyrinth ... Human beings have always needed hope, and surely now more than ever.
Lloyd Alexander
...alas, raising a young lady is a mystery even beyond an enchanter's skill.
Lloyd Alexander
Ever since human beings learned to talk to each other, we've been fascinated with storytelling of every kind. Blessed (or cursed) with insatiable curiosity, we have to know what happens next.
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
You must know nothing before you can learn something, and be empty before you can be filled. Is not the emptiness of the bowl what makes it useful? As for laws, a parrot can repeat them word for word. Their spirit is something else again. As for governing, one must first be lowest before being highest.
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
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
A crown is more discomfort than adornment. If you have learned that, you have already learned much.
Lloyd Alexander
If I fret over tomorrow, I'll have little joy today.
Lloyd Alexander
If I do find pride, I'll not find it in what I was or what I am, but what I may become. Not in my birth, but in myself.
Lloyd Alexander
If the pull of the outside world is strong, there is also a pull towards the human. The cat may disappear on its own errands, but sooner or later, it returns once again for a little while, to greet us with its own type of love.
Lloyd Alexander
...righteousness [is] always more believable when combined with dreariness.
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.
