I decided that adventure was the best way to learn about writing.
Lloyd Alexander

Lloyd Alexander
A crown is more discomfort than adornment. If you have learned that, you have already learned much.
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
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
The only thing a cat worries about is what's happening right now. As we tell the kittens, you can only wash one paw at a time.
Lloyd Alexander
Evil cannot be conquered by wishing.
Lloyd Alexander
