Lloyd Alexander
There's this huge number of desperate people.
Lloyd Alexander
You know how chickens are, imagining the world coming to an end one moment, then pecking corn the next.
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
Story, finally, is humanity's autobiography.
Lloyd Alexander
