More quotes by Lloyd Alexander
That is why your sacrifice was all the more difficult. You chose to be a hero not through enchantment but through your own manhood.
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
Shakespeare, Dickens, Mark Twain, and so many others were my dearest friends and greatest teachers.

Most cats do not approach humans recklessly. The possibility of concealed weapons, clods or sticks, tend to make them reserved. Homeless cats in particular-with some justification, unfortunately-consider humans their natural enemies. Much ceremony must be observed, and a number of diplomatic feelers put out, before establishing a state of truce.
Lloyd Alexander
He was a great poet They lamented. No, he was not a great poet, said Theo, He was a good poet, he could have been better. That's the real loss don't you see?
Lloyd Alexander
Once you have courage to look upon evil, seeing it for what it is and naming it by its true name, it is powerless against you, and you can destroy it.
Lloyd Alexander
If life is a loom, the pattern you weave is not so easily unraveled.
Lloyd Alexander
My concern is how we learn to be genuine human beings.
Lloyd Alexander
I can't single out one of my books or characters as a favorite. In the same way that I don't have a favorite kidney, my books are organically all part of myself. I might even say that put all together, the books are one ongoing, developing story - which, not coincidentally, happens to be my own lifestory.
Lloyd Alexander
Is there worse evil than that which goes in the mask of good?
Lloyd Alexander
A crown is more discomfort than adornment. If you have learned that, you have already learned much.
Lloyd Alexander
In the race of men is much greed and envy but of truth, little.
