The so-called Real World. Human misery and sadness. Blind politics and general cruelty.
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
In the greater part of humankind there resides an instinct for survival. It is this which can clutch at straws and effect a rescue from them. It is this which can, now and then, outwit fate.
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
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
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 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
Im a devotee of Dracula, which was a pathfinder in horror and vampire fiction.
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
Madness. I did not get myself born to die. I have better things to do.
Tanith Lee
Your dreams will betray you. Go nowhere on a horse that fades.
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
He sat by her, watching every gesture she made, as if he would paint her portrait afterward.
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
Hope is a punishable offense. The verdict is always death one more death of the heart.
Tanith Lee
We need the expressive arts, the ancient scribes, the storytellers, the priests.
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
I held out my book. It was precious to me, as were all the things I'd written even where I despised their inadequacy there was not one I would disown. Each tore its way from my entrails. Each had shortened my life, killed me with its own special little death.
Tanith Lee
No one is ever ordinary.
