More quotes by Lloyd Alexander

Lloyd Alexander
Every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone.
Lloyd Alexander
Who but lovers dream alike?
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
Evil cannot be conquered by wishing.
Lloyd Alexander
Once you have courage to look upon evil, seeing it for what it is and naming it by its true name, it is powerless against you, and you can destroy it.
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
