Lloyd Alexander
There's this huge number of desperate people.
Lloyd Alexander
And thus did an Assistant Pig-Keeper become High King of Prydain.
Lloyd Alexander
Using the device of an imaginary world allows me in some strange way to go to the central issues - it's one of many ways to express feelings about real people, about real human relationships.
Lloyd Alexander
The only thing a cat worries about is what's happening right now. As we tell the kittens, you can only wash one paw at a time.
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
A crown is more discomfort than adornment. If you have learned that, you have already learned much.
Lloyd Alexander
My parents were horrified when I told them I wanted to be an author.
Lloyd Alexander
