More quotes by 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
There is truth in all things, if you understand them well.

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
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

Lloyd Alexander
You have a point, said Fronto, and even a poet must occasionally bow to logic.
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
