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
Im a devotee of Dracula, which was a pathfinder in horror and vampire fiction.
Tanith Lee
I submitted manuscripts to publishers. This was not so much a feeling that I should be published as a wish to escape the feared and hated drudgery of normal work.
Tanith Lee
I like films, or some films, and would be intrigued to see my work on screen.
Tanith Lee
Danger and anger are everywhere. Love is the rarity, the gem buried in the core of the mine, the outpost of God.
Tanith Lee
We all have our dreams. May we find them, and God have mercy on us when we do.
Tanith Lee
You should visit before you pass judgment on a place.
Tanith Lee
No one more cynical than an idealist.
Tanith Lee
Maidens who stay maidens turn into saints. Old women become sorceresses. Tough jobs, both of these.
Tanith Lee
I haven't changed. Something's happened to me, that's all.
Tanith Lee
Tales of heroes end in bliss.
