More quotes by Tanith Lee

Tanith Lee
Whatever the hell I am, I am Me.
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
No one is ever ordinary.
Tanith Lee
I haven't changed. Something's happened to me, that's all.
Tanith Lee
No one more cynical than an idealist.
Tanith Lee
I will draw you back to me. You shall see. By a chain of stars.
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
It was not apathy. It was an intelligent disinterest in those things that could have no bearing on one's existence.
Tanith Lee
I like films, or some films, and would be intrigued to see my work on screen.
Tanith Lee

Tanith Lee

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
The so-called Real World. Human misery and sadness. Blind politics and general cruelty.
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 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
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
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.
