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
Most of my books have been written in the form of fantasy.
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
If I fret over tomorrow, I'll have little joy today.
Lloyd Alexander
Paradoxically, in fantasy for young people I was able to express my own deepest feelings and attitudes more than I had ever done in writing for adults.
Lloyd Alexander
I loved all the world's mythologies.
Lloyd Alexander
My parents were horrified when I told them I wanted to be an author.
Lloyd Alexander
Are you slow-witted? I'm so sorry for you. It's terrible to be dull and stupid.
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
Even in a fantasy realm, growing up is accomplished not without cost.
Lloyd Alexander
By all means, cried the bard, his eyes lighting up. A Fflam to the rescue! Storm the castle! Carry it by assault! Batter down the gates! There's not much of it left to storm, said Eilonwy. Oh? said Fflewddur, with disappointment. Very well, we shall do the best we can.
Lloyd Alexander
For man to be worthy of any rank, he must strive first to be a man.
