More quotes by Lloyd Alexander
Most of my books have been written in the form of fantasy.
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
Two cats can live as cheaply as one, and their owner has twice as much fun
Lloyd Alexander
Child, child, do you not see? For each of us comes a time when we must be more than what we are.
Lloyd Alexander
What! I don't care about being a princess! And since I'm already a young lady, how else could I behave? That's like asking a fish not to swim! ~Princess Eilonwy, daughter of Angharad, daughter of Regat, of the Royal house of Llyr

Lloyd Alexander
There's this huge number of desperate people.
Lloyd Alexander

Lloyd Alexander
She had no particular breed in mind, no unusual requirements. Except the special sense of mutual recognition that tells dog and human they have both come to the right place.
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
Find what you want. I will find you.
Lloyd Alexander
Craftsmanship isn't like water in an earthen pot, to be taken out by the dipperful until it's empty. No, the more drawn out the more remains.
Lloyd Alexander
At the end of knowledge, wisdom begins, and at the end of wisdom, there is not grief...but hope
Lloyd Alexander
My concern is how we learn to be genuine human beings.
Lloyd Alexander
Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it.
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
Every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone.
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.
