More quotes by Tanith Lee
Maidens who stay maidens turn into saints. Old women become sorceresses. Tough jobs, both of these.
Tanith Lee
Are not all loves secretly the same? A hundred flowers sprung from a single root.
Tanith Lee
No one is ever ordinary.
Tanith Lee
Your dreams will betray you. Go nowhere on a horse that fades.
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
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
We need the expressive arts, the ancient scribes, the storytellers, the priests.
Tanith Lee
I will draw you back to me. You shall see. By a chain of stars.
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
We all have our dreams. May we find them, and God have mercy on us when we do.
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
Im a devotee of Dracula, which was a pathfinder in horror and vampire fiction.
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
Danger and anger are everywhere. Love is the rarity, the gem buried in the core of the mine, the outpost of God.
Tanith Lee
Whatever the hell I am, I am Me.
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
The soul is a magician. Only living flesh hampers it.
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
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
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.
