I can't stand people who say 'I told you so.' That's worse than somebody coming up and eating your dinner before you have a chance to sit down.
Lloyd Alexander
Even in a fantasy realm, growing up is accomplished not without cost.
Lloyd Alexander
If you want truth you should begin by giving it.

Story, finally, is humanity's autobiography.
Lloyd Alexander
A crown is a pitiless master, harsher than the staff of a pig-keeper while a staff bears up, a crown weighs down, beyond the strength of any man to wear it lightly.
