More quotes by Tanith Lee
When I started as a writer, I knew nothing about publishing-nothing about anything!
Tanith Lee
I was reading some complex books in my own youth-and no, I didnt always understand every word, let alone every concept-but I got the main thrust, which was like a lifeline in a fluctuating world.
Tanith Lee
I just love writing. It's magical, it's somewhere else to go, it's somewhere much more dreadful, somewhere much more exciting. Somewhere I feel I belong, possibly more than in the so-called real world.
Tanith Lee
I haven't changed. Something's happened to me, that's all.
Tanith Lee
The soul is a magician. Only living flesh hampers it.
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
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
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 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
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.
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
I will draw you back to me. You shall see. By a chain of stars.
Tanith Lee
We all have our dreams. May we find them, and God have mercy on us when we do.
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
No one is ever ordinary.
Tanith Lee
It gets cold in the desert at night, particularly up in the mountains the stars hammer on the rock and strike frost.
Tanith Lee
It was so useful to lie with the truth.
Tanith Lee
Your dreams will betray you. Go nowhere on a horse that fades.
Tanith Lee
Madness. I did not get myself born to die. I have better things to do.
Tanith Lee
Whatever the hell I am, I am Me.
