The Prydain Companion is more than a quick reference or handy glossary, though it is all of that as well. Instructive, certainly. But, like any good companion, a pleasure to be with over a long period of time.

More quotes by Lloyd Alexander
If you want truth you should begin by giving it.
Lloyd Alexander
Is there not glory enough in living the days given to us? You should know there is adventure in simply being among those we love and the things we love, and beauty, too.
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
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
A crown is more discomfort than adornment. If you have learned that, you have already learned much.
Lloyd Alexander
I only suggest to you: Will you dwell on killing this man? You wish for revenge? If you do, he has already killed you by slow poison. So, let it go. Why waste your time? His life will see to his death.
Lloyd Alexander
There is more honor in a field well plowed than in a field steeped in blood.
Lloyd Alexander
If writers learn more from their books than do readers, perhaps I may have begun to learn.
Lloyd Alexander
The point is not to look back, but to look ahead to what you hope still to do.
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
The only thing a cat worries about is what's happening right now. As we tell the kittens, you can only wash one paw at a time.
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
Books can truly change our lives: the lives of those who read them, the lives of those who write them. Readers and writers alike discover things they never knew about the world and about themselves.
Lloyd Alexander
For man to be worthy of any rank, he must strive first to be a man.
Lloyd Alexander
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
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
I know that some readers think (The High King) should have ended differently. I cried for three days afterwards.
Lloyd Alexander
Neither refuse to give help when it is needed,... nor refuse to accept it when it is offered.
Lloyd Alexander
And thus did an Assistant Pig-Keeper become High King of Prydain.
Lloyd Alexander
My parents were horrified when I told them I wanted to be an author.
