If I do find pride, I'll not find it in what I was or what I am, but what I may become. Not in my birth, but in myself.
Lloyd Alexander
Is there worse evil than that which goes in the mask of good?
Lloyd Alexander
My parents were horrified when I told them I wanted to be an author.

Neither refuse to give help when it is needed,... nor refuse to accept it when it is offered.
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
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.
Lloyd Alexander
My family pleaded with me to forget literature and do something sensible, such as find some sort of useful work.
Lloyd Alexander
Shakespeare, Dickens, Mark Twain, and so many others were my dearest friends and greatest teachers.
Lloyd Alexander
If we nourish imagination, we nourish everything else.
Lloyd Alexander
This much have I learned: A man's life weighs more than glory, and a price paid in blood is a heavy reckoning.
Lloyd Alexander
In the race of men is much greed and envy but of truth, little.
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

-I'm trying to make myself invisible. -That's an odd thing to attempt.
Lloyd Alexander
Find what you want. I will find you.
