Tanith Lee
Hope is a punishable offense. The verdict is always death one more death of the heart.
Tanith Lee
People are always the start for meanimals. When I can get into their heads, gods, supernatural beings,immortals, the deadthese are all people to me.
Tanith Lee
It was not apathy. It was an intelligent disinterest in those things that could have no bearing on one's existence.

The worst vulgarity is to avoid vulgarity solely on the grounds that it is vulgar.
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
No one is ever ordinary.
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
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
At an early school, when I was about 5, they asked what we wanted to be when we grew up. Everyone said silly things, and I said I wanted to be an actress. So that was what I wanted to be, but what I was, of course, was a writer.
Tanith Lee
You should visit before you pass judgment on a place.
Tanith Lee
There was no violence, no speed. It moved to the rhythm of an elder dance, putting all the rituals of the world to shame. Black, silver, gold and moon-opal, night and sea, fire, earth, air and water.
Tanith Lee
Are not all loves secretly the same? A hundred flowers sprung from a single root.
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
The so-called Real World. Human misery and sadness. Blind politics and general cruelty.
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.
Tanith Lee
We need the expressive arts, the ancient scribes, the storytellers, the priests.
Tanith Lee
Madness. I did not get myself born to die. I have better things to do.
