More quotes by 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
I like films, or some films, and would be intrigued to see my work on screen.
Tanith Lee
Are not all loves secretly the same? A hundred flowers sprung from a single root.
Tanith Lee
I am interested in most mythology. Celtic or Christian no more than anything else. I will admit to a pleasure and sense of hope in what I see as the basic teachings of Christ, stripped of the nonsense that has sometimes been accumulated about them and the embarrassing misunderstanding.
Tanith Lee
Your dreams will betray you. Go nowhere on a horse that fades.
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
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
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 more cynical than an idealist.
Tanith Lee
When I started as a writer, I knew nothing about publishing-nothing about anything!
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
In the greater part of humankind there resides an instinct for survival. It is this which can clutch at straws and effect a rescue from them. It is this which can, now and then, outwit fate.
Tanith Lee
The so-called Real World. Human misery and sadness. Blind politics and general cruelty.
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
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
Hope is a punishable offense. The verdict is always death one more death of the heart.
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
He sat by her, watching every gesture she made, as if he would paint her portrait afterward.
