More quotes by Tanith Lee
If I ever get to 100, I'd want to be filled with wonder and wild, adolescent, wide-eyed interest in newness. So let's keep the flame burning. Let's stop thinking everyone over 29, or 49, has to be reinforced by concrete.
Tanith Lee
We need the expressive arts, the ancient scribes, the storytellers, the priests.
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
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
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
You should visit before you pass judgment on a place.
Tanith Lee
Im a devotee of Dracula, which was a pathfinder in horror and vampire fiction.

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
When I started as a writer, I knew nothing about publishing-nothing about anything!
Tanith Lee
The worst vulgarity is to avoid vulgarity solely on the grounds that it is vulgar.
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
Madness. I did not get myself born to die. I have better things to do.
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'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
Are not all loves secretly the same? A hundred flowers sprung from a single root.
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
Maidens who stay maidens turn into saints. Old women become sorceresses. Tough jobs, both of these.
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.
