More quotes by Tanith Lee
I held out my book. It was precious to me, as were all the things I'd written even where I despised their inadequacy there was not one I would disown. Each tore its way from my entrails. Each had shortened my life, killed me with its own special little death.
Tanith Lee
I hate the way, once you start to know someone, care about them, their behavior can distress you, even when it's unreasonable and not your fault, even if you were really trying to be careful, tactful.
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
I like films, or some films, and would be intrigued to see my work on screen.
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
Maidens who stay maidens turn into saints. Old women become sorceresses. Tough jobs, both of these.
Tanith Lee
Danger and anger are everywhere. Love is the rarity, the gem buried in the core of the mine, the outpost of God.
Tanith Lee
Tales of heroes end in bliss.
Tanith Lee
When I started as a writer, I knew nothing about publishing-nothing about anything!
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
It gets cold in the desert at night, particularly up in the mountains the stars hammer on the rock and strike frost.
Tanith Lee
We all have our dreams. May we find them, and God have mercy on us when we do.
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
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
I like writing about women, weak and strong, pathetic and heroic. I like writing about men, ditto. And all the variants of men and women, beasts and demons.
Tanith Lee
It was so useful to lie with the truth.
Tanith Lee
I was reading some complex books in my own youth-and no, I didnt always understand every word, let alone every concept-but I got the main thrust, which was like a lifeline in a fluctuating world.
Tanith Lee
I haven't changed. Something's happened to me, that's all.
