Tanith Lee
Madness. I did not get myself born to die. I have better things to do.
Tanith Lee
I like films, or some films, and would be intrigued to see my work on screen.
Tanith Lee
The soul is a magician. Only living flesh hampers it.
Tanith Lee
We all have our dreams. May we find them, and God have mercy on us when we do.
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 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
Maidens who stay maidens turn into saints. Old women become sorceresses. Tough jobs, both of these.
Tanith Lee
No one more cynical than an idealist.
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
It gets cold in the desert at night, particularly up in the mountains the stars hammer on the rock and strike frost.
