More quotes by Lloyd Alexander
Every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone.
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
Thinking is a bit uncomfortable, but you'll get used to it. A matter of time and practice.
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
Even in a fantasy realm, growing up is accomplished not without cost.
Lloyd Alexander
Seize the day, whatever's in it to seize, before something comes along and seizes you.

Lloyd Alexander

Lloyd Alexander
If we nourish imagination, we nourish everything else.
Lloyd Alexander
There is more honor in a field well plowed than in a field steeped in blood.
Lloyd Alexander
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
Eventually, I was sent to Wales and Germany, and after the war, to Paris.
Lloyd Alexander
My concern is how we learn to be genuine human beings.
Lloyd Alexander
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.
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
Is there worse evil than that which goes in the mask of good?
