...righteousness [is] always more believable when combined with dreariness.
Lloyd Alexander
She had no particular breed in mind, no unusual requirements. Except the special sense of mutual recognition that tells dog and human they have both come to the right place.
Lloyd Alexander
What you may seek and what you may find are not always one.
Lloyd Alexander
Neither refuse to give help when it is needed,... nor refuse to accept it when it is offered.

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
Every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone.
