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
-I'm trying to make myself invisible. -That's an odd thing to attempt.
Lloyd Alexander
You must know nothing before you can learn something, and be empty before you can be filled. Is not the emptiness of the bowl what makes it useful? As for laws, a parrot can repeat them word for word. Their spirit is something else again. As for governing, one must first be lowest before being highest.
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
