More quotes by Tanith Lee
The so-called Real World. Human misery and sadness. Blind politics and general cruelty.
Tanith Lee
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
I like films, or some films, and would be intrigued to see my work on screen.

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
Danger and anger are everywhere. Love is the rarity, the gem buried in the core of the mine, the outpost of God.
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
Whatever the hell I am, I am Me.
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
You should visit before you pass judgment on a place.
Tanith Lee
Your dreams will betray you. Go nowhere on a horse that fades.
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
Hope is a punishable offense. The verdict is always death one more death of the heart.
Tanith Lee
The soul is a magician. Only living flesh hampers it.
Tanith Lee
Tales of heroes end in bliss.
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
We need the expressive arts, the ancient scribes, the storytellers, the priests.
