More quotes by Lloyd Alexander
Find what you want. I will find you.
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
Is there worse evil than that which goes in the mask of good?
Lloyd Alexander
After I saved some money, I quit work and went to a local college.
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
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.

Two cats can live as cheaply as one, and their owner has twice as much fun
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
Forgive me....I called you an idiot. I spoke too hastily. You are not. Had I given it more thought, I would have called you a scoundrel.
Lloyd Alexander

Lloyd Alexander
Most of my books have been written in the form of fantasy.
Lloyd Alexander
A crown is more discomfort than adornment. If you have learned that, you have already learned much.
Lloyd Alexander
I loved all the world's mythologies.
Lloyd Alexander
Evil cannot be conquered by wishing.
Lloyd Alexander
Life's a forge - Yes, and hammer and anvil, too. You'll be roasted, smelted, and pounded, and you'll scarce know what's happening to you. But stand proudly to it. Metal's worthless till it is shaped and tempered. More labor than luck. Face the pounding, don't fear the proving and you'll stand well against any hammer and anvil.
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
You have a point, said Fronto, and even a poet must occasionally bow to logic.
Lloyd Alexander
...alas, raising a young lady is a mystery even beyond an enchanter's skill.
Lloyd Alexander
There is truth in all things, if you understand them well.
Lloyd Alexander
Neither refuse to give help when it is needed,... nor refuse to accept it when it is offered.
Lloyd Alexander
