More quotes by Lloyd Alexander
The point is not to look back, but to look ahead to what you hope still to do.
Lloyd Alexander
If you want truth you should begin by giving 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.

I can't single out one of my books or characters as a favorite. In the same way that I don't have a favorite kidney, my books are organically all part of myself. I might even say that put all together, the books are one ongoing, developing story - which, not coincidentally, happens to be my own lifestory.
Lloyd Alexander
In the race of men is much greed and envy but of truth, little.

Lloyd Alexander
A crown is more discomfort than adornment. If you have learned that, you have already learned much.
Lloyd Alexander
Even in a fantasy realm, growing up is accomplished not without cost.
Lloyd Alexander
Every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone.
Lloyd Alexander
Is there worse evil than that which goes in the mask of good?
Lloyd Alexander
Who but lovers dream alike?
Lloyd Alexander
Find what you want. I will find you.
Lloyd Alexander
Hope is an essential thread in the fabric of all fantasies, an Ariadne's thread to guide us out of the labyrinth ... Human beings have always needed hope, and surely now more than ever.
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
Eventually, I was sent to Wales and Germany, and after the war, to Paris.
Lloyd Alexander
-I'm trying to make myself invisible. -That's an odd thing to attempt.
Lloyd Alexander
