He will not succeed in this, Taran said. Somehow, we must find a way to escape. We dare not lose hope. I agree absolutely, Fflewddur answered. Your general idea is excellent it's only the details that are lacking.

More quotes by Lloyd Alexander
For man to be worthy of any rank, he must strive first to be a man.
Lloyd Alexander
Most of my books have been written in the form of fantasy.
Lloyd Alexander
You have a point, said Fronto, and even a poet must occasionally bow to logic.
Lloyd Alexander
Most cats do not approach humans recklessly. The possibility of concealed weapons, clods or sticks, tend to make them reserved. Homeless cats in particular-with some justification, unfortunately-consider humans their natural enemies. Much ceremony must be observed, and a number of diplomatic feelers put out, before establishing a state of truce.
Lloyd Alexander
Books can truly change our lives: the lives of those who read them, the lives of those who write them. Readers and writers alike discover things they never knew about the world and about themselves.
Lloyd Alexander
There is truth in all things, if you understand them well.
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
Eventually, I was sent to Wales and Germany, and after the war, to Paris.
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
Is there worse evil than that which goes in the mask of good?
Lloyd Alexander
A man who claims to be fearless is an idiot or a liar.
Lloyd Alexander
There's this huge number of desperate people.
Lloyd Alexander
Even in a fantasy realm, growing up is accomplished not without cost.
Lloyd Alexander
He was a great poet They lamented. No, he was not a great poet, said Theo, He was a good poet, he could have been better. That's the real loss don't you see?
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
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
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
...righteousness [is] always more believable when combined with dreariness.
Lloyd Alexander
A crown is a pitiless master, harsher than the staff of a pig-keeper while a staff bears up, a crown weighs down, beyond the strength of any man to wear it lightly.
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
