How massively the mountains stand, while low to the ground the sand blows. The sand blows on and on. And then there are no mountains, none at all, the sand has kissed and whispered them away. And still, the sand blows on.

More quotes by Tanith Lee
I also love Disney, and will defend doing so, because there's so much in those films and I don't care if it's stereotyped.
Tanith Lee
The bitterness of joy lies in the knowledge that is cannot last. Nor should joy last beyond a certain season, for, after that season, even joy would become merely habit.
Tanith Lee
The humble were the elect of God. Did not the priests teach so, in their gemmed, kingly robes, from their towering pulpits?
Tanith Lee
World's flying like birds my car's in flight. The city lights are spattered on my windshield like the fragments of the night. And I'm in flight. The sky's a wheel, a merry-go-round of wings and snow and steel, and fire. We'll tread the sky, we'll ride the scarlet horses.
Tanith Lee
You should visit before you pass judgment on a place.
Tanith Lee
We all have our dreams. May we find them, and God have mercy on us when we do.
Tanith Lee
He sat by her, watching every gesture she made, as if he would paint her portrait afterward.

If they had said my writing wasn't good enough, fair enough, that's an opinion. But to say it's too complex is to insult the intelligence of the so-called young.
Tanith Lee
It was so useful to lie with the truth.
Tanith Lee
It's very selfish when I write. I'm not aware, ever, of writing for another person I'm not even really aware of writing for myself.
Tanith Lee
What is any of this to us? Time is endless and ours. Love and Death are only the games we play in it.
Tanith Lee
It was not apathy. It was an intelligent disinterest in those things that could have no bearing on one's existence.
Tanith Lee
I will draw you back to me. You shall see. By a chain of stars.
Tanith Lee
We need the expressive arts, the ancient scribes, the storytellers, the priests.
Tanith Lee
If I ever get to 100, I'd want to be filled with wonder and wild, adolescent, wide-eyed interest in newness. So let's keep the flame burning. Let's stop thinking everyone over 29, or 49, has to be reinforced by concrete.
Tanith Lee
No one is ever ordinary.
Tanith Lee
Whatever the hell I am, I am Me.
Tanith Lee
I like films, or some films, and would be intrigued to see my work on screen.
Tanith Lee
Maidens who stay maidens turn into saints. Old women become sorceresses. Tough jobs, both of these.
Tanith Lee
I submitted manuscripts to publishers. This was not so much a feeling that I should be published as a wish to escape the feared and hated drudgery of normal work.
