Lloyd Alexander
Fantasy, in addition to being great storytelling, moves us at some unique and profound level. It has, I think, the power of mythology, or ancient dreams we have always and forever shared. In it, we find our real world and our real selves.
Lloyd Alexander
Keep out of this, Lucian said. I'm not smiting anybody. You're showing mercy. Catch-a-Tick nodded. That's heroic, too. But not as good as smiting.
Lloyd Alexander
A crown is a pitiless master, harsher than the staff of a pig-keeper while a staff bears up, a crown weighs down, beyond the strength of any man to wear it lightly.
