More quotes by Lloyd Alexander

Lloyd Alexander
What you may seek and what you may find are not always one.
Lloyd Alexander
...alas, raising a young lady is a mystery even beyond an enchanter's skill.
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
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
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
