Lloyd Alexander Quotes

Is there not glory enough in living the days given to us? You should know there is adventure in simply being among those we love and the things we love, and beauty, too Picture Quote #1

The destinies of men are woven one with the other, and you can turn aside from them no more than you can turn aside from your own Picture Quote #1

If I do find pride, I'll not find it in what I was or what I am, but what I may become. Not in my birth, but in myself Picture Quote #1

Craftsmanship isn't like water in an earthen pot, to be taken out by the dipperful until it's empty. No, the more drawn out the more remains Picture Quote #1

Count yourself lucky, the potter went on, that you have understood this now and not spent your years in vain hope. This much have you learned, and no learning is wasted Picture Quote #1

A crown is more discomfort than adornment. If you have learned that, you have already learned much Picture Quote #1

This much have I learned: A man's life weighs more than glory, and a price paid in blood is a heavy reckoning Picture Quote #1

A crown is a pitiless master, harsher than the staff of a pig keeper; while a staff bears up, a crown weighs down, beyond the strength of any man to wear it lightly Picture Quote #1

In some cases we learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself Picture Quote #1

Just because you've seen something doesn't mean you'll stop looking. There's always something you didn't see before Picture Quote #1

Neither refuse to give help when it is needed,... nor refuse to accept it when it is offered Picture Quote #1

Books can truly change our lives: the lives of those who read them, the lives of those who write them. Readers and writers alike discover things they never knew about the world and about themselves Picture Quote #1

The only thing a cat worries about is what's happening right now. As we tell the kittens, you can only wash one paw at a time Picture Quote #1

Any fool can tell a story. Take a few odds and ends of things that happen to you, dress them up, shuffle them about, add a dash of excitement, a little color, and there you have it Picture Quote #1

For the odd thing about wisdom is the more you use it the more it grows; and the more you share, the more you gain. You'd be amazed how few understand that Picture Quote #1

I know it isn't nice to vex people on purpose - it's like handing them a toad - but this is much too good to miss and I may never have another chance at it Picture Quote #1

Some days are like that... and what's to be done about it? Nothing, alas, but hope things will brighten, which they very likely won't. But there you are, it's all one can do Picture Quote #1

Of wisdom there are as many patterns as a loom can weave. Yours is the wisdom of good and kindly heart. Scarce it is and its worth all the greater Picture Quote #1

Do you not believe that animals know grief and fear and pain? The world of men is not an easy one for them Picture Quote #1

Children's books are written to be read, adult books are written to be talked about at cocktail parties Picture Quote #1

But, alas, in most of us good and bad are closely woven as the threads on a loom; greater wisdom than mine is needed for the judging Picture Quote #1

That is why your sacrifice was all the more difficult. You chose to be a hero not through enchantment but through your own manhood Picture Quote #1

Forgive me... I called you an idiot. I spoke too hastily. You are not. Had I given it more thought, I would have called you a scoundrel Picture Quote #1

You know how chickens are, imagining the world coming to an end one moment, then pecking corn the next Picture Quote #1

How easy it is to think well of ourselves. Until the moment is upon us, we can never be certain Picture Quote #1

I have never known courage to be judged by the length of a man's hair. Or, for the matter of that, whether he has any hair at all Picture Quote #1

I think we should always remember that reading - the experience of a book - is a very private, very personal kind of thing. Sometimes the best response to such an experience is: silence Picture Quote #1

There is an exuberance in good fantasy quite unlike the most exalted moments of realistic fiction. Both forms have similar goals; but realism walks where fantasy dances Picture Quote #1

It is harsh enough for each man to bear his own wound. But he who leads bears the wounds of all who follow him Picture Quote #1

It is beyond any man's wisdom to judge the secret heart of another... for in it are good and evil mixed Picture Quote #1
