More quotes by Marion Zimmer Bradley
There's no magic secret writing is like everything else ten percent inspiration or talent, and ninety percent hard work. Persistence keeping at it till you get there. As Agnes de Mille said, it means working every day—bored, tired, weary, or with a fever of a hundred and two.
Marion Zimmer Bradley

Marion Zimmer Bradley
I am dedicated to the belief that it is God's will that all men should strive for wisdom in themselves, not look to it from some other. Babes, perhaps, must have their food chewed for them by a nurse, but men may drink and eat of wisdom for themselves.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
On one occasion I shared a bed with about seven other people, but we were all having a party overnight
Marion Zimmer Bradley
Well, so it must be, for as man saw reality, so it became.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
And I must believe that man has the power to know the right, to choose between good and evil and know that his choice has made a difference.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
To know you are ignorant is the beginning of wisdom.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
If you listen to dogs barking you will go deaf without learning anything.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
What you see is from outside yourself, and may come, or not, but is beyond your control. But your fear is yours, and yours alone, like your voice, or your fingers, or your memory, and therefore yours to control. If you feel powerless over your fear, you have not yet admitted that it is yours, to do with as you will.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
No man or woman can live another's fate
Marion Zimmer Bradley
I never left you I never will leave you. While life lasts, and beyond, I am here.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
The older I grow the more I become certain that it makes no difference what words we use to tell the same truths.
