More quotes by Lloyd Alexander
What seems to be love beyond any question is usually a simple case of indigestion.
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.
Lloyd Alexander
My parents were horrified when I told them I wanted to be an author.
Lloyd Alexander
He will not succeed in this, Taran said. Somehow, we must find a way to escape. We dare not lose hope. I agree absolutely, Fflewddur answered. Your general idea is excellent it's only the details that are lacking.
Lloyd Alexander
-He loved her...It was noble of him. It was beautiful. -It was stupid.
Lloyd Alexander
You have a point, said Fronto, and even a poet must occasionally bow to logic.
Lloyd Alexander

Lloyd Alexander
Who but lovers dream alike?
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
Most cats do not approach humans recklessly. The possibility of concealed weapons, clods or sticks, tend to make them reserved. Homeless cats in particular-with some justification, unfortunately-consider humans their natural enemies. Much ceremony must be observed, and a number of diplomatic feelers put out, before establishing a state of truce.
Lloyd Alexander
There is more honor in a field well plowed than in a field steeped in blood.
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
This much have I learned: A man's life weighs more than glory, and a price paid in blood is a heavy reckoning.
Lloyd Alexander
Evil cannot be conquered by wishing.
Lloyd Alexander
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
Keep out of this, Lucian said. I'm not smiting anybody. You're showing mercy. Catch-a-Tick nodded. That's heroic, too. But not as good as smiting.
Lloyd Alexander
For man to be worthy of any rank, he must strive first to be a man.
Lloyd Alexander
Find what you want. I will find you.
Lloyd Alexander
After I saved some money, I quit work and went to a local college.
Lloyd Alexander
By all means, cried the bard, his eyes lighting up. A Fflam to the rescue! Storm the castle! Carry it by assault! Batter down the gates! There's not much of it left to storm, said Eilonwy. Oh? said Fflewddur, with disappointment. Very well, we shall do the best we can.
