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
Knowledge was like a mouthful of dust.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
... but I believe the divine ones will send other great masters to preach the truth to mankind, and that mankind will always receive them with the cross and the fire and the stones
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.

Marion Zimmer Bradley
The road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
Flowers and fruit are only the beginning. In the seed lies the life and the future.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
Darling, I wish I could help you. Try to remember this: to live, you need every experience. Some will come in glory and in beauty, and some in pain and what seems like ugliness. But - they are. Life consists of opposites in balance.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
There is no sorrow like the memory of love and the knowledge that it is gone forever.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
A friend of ours has a hobby doing genealogy, and we found out that we were cousins in the ninth degree, that we had a common ancestor on the Mayflower.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
Light flared through every limb, a force far too great to be contained in any human frame but for that moment she was the Great Mother, giving birth to the world.
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
I have called on the Goddess and found her within myself
