Tanith Lee
The so-called Real World. Human misery and sadness. Blind politics and general cruelty.
Tanith Lee
The humble were the elect of God. Did not the priests teach so, in their gemmed, kingly robes, from their towering pulpits?
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
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 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
The worst vulgarity is to avoid vulgarity solely on the grounds that it is vulgar.
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.
