Lloyd Alexander
What seems to be love beyond any question is usually a simple case of indigestion.
Lloyd Alexander
There is more honor in a field well plowed than in a field steeped in blood.
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
For man to be worthy of any rank, he must strive first to be a man.
Lloyd Alexander
The dear girl, I fear, may be contemplating some alarming, disruptive perhaps dangerous project. In which case, I would naturally do all in my power to keep her from any such rash or foolhardy enterprise – unless she wished me to accompany her.
Lloyd Alexander
I know that some readers think (The High King) should have ended differently. I cried for three days afterwards.
Lloyd Alexander
Fantasy, in addition to being great storytelling, moves us at some unique and profound level. It has, I think, the power of mythology, or ancient dreams we have always and forever shared. In it, we find our real world and our real selves.
