Lloyd Alexander
Just because you've seen something doesn't mean you'll stop looking. There's always something you didn't see before.
Lloyd Alexander
Is there not glory enough in living the days given to us? You should know there is adventure in simply being among those we love and the things we love, and beauty, too.
Lloyd Alexander
Who but lovers dream alike?
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
What you may seek and what you may find are not always one.
Lloyd Alexander
If you want truth you should begin by giving it.
