If there were a mile high mountain of granite, and once every ten-thousand years a bird flew past and brushed it with a feather, by the time that mountain was worn away, a fraction of a second would have passed in the context of eternity

More quotes by Lois Duncan
We are the wise. Do not envy us— We who are too wise to draw near the fire Lest we get burned We who are too wise to love Lest love should vanish and we be hurt. We are the wise. Do not envy us our wisdom— We who are too wise to live Lest we should die.
Lois Duncan
Sit down every day and DO IT. Writing is a self-taught craft the more you work at it, the more skilled you become. And when you're not writing, READ.
Lois Duncan
Life continues, and we all of us keep changing and building, toward what we cannot know.
Lois Duncan
Writers 'get started' the day they are born. The minds they bring into the world with them are the amazing machines their stories will come out of, and the more they feed into it, the richer those stories will be.
