More quotes by Lloyd Alexander
If writers learn more from their books than do readers, perhaps I may have begun to learn.
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
The point is not to look back, but to look ahead to what you hope still to do.
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
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.
Lloyd Alexander
Every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone.
Lloyd Alexander
Two cats can live as cheaply as one, and their owner has twice as much fun
Lloyd Alexander
You know how chickens are, imagining the world coming to an end one moment, then pecking corn the next.
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
Shakespeare, Dickens, Mark Twain, and so many others were my dearest friends and greatest teachers.
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
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
You must know nothing before you can learn something, and be empty before you can be filled. Is not the emptiness of the bowl what makes it useful? As for laws, a parrot can repeat them word for word. Their spirit is something else again. As for governing, one must first be lowest before being highest.
Lloyd Alexander
-He loved her...It was noble of him. It was beautiful. -It was stupid.
Lloyd Alexander
Evil cannot be conquered by wishing.
Lloyd Alexander
Thinking is a bit uncomfortable, but you'll get used to it. A matter of time and practice.
Lloyd Alexander
...righteousness [is] always more believable when combined with dreariness.
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
Seize the day, whatever's in it to seize, before something comes along and seizes you.
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
