Lloyd Alexander
Hope is an essential thread in the fabric of all fantasies, an Ariadne's thread to guide us out of the labyrinth ... Human beings have always needed hope, and surely now more than ever.
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
If you want truth you should begin by giving it.
Lloyd Alexander
