Lloyd Alexander
My family pleaded with me to forget literature and do something sensible, such as find some sort of useful work.
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 worse evil than that which goes in the mask of good?
Lloyd Alexander
