Tamora Pierce Quotes

I don’t write from dreams because I don’t remember mine, but I had a fragment of an image left about twins, whose father was telling them how their lives were going to go for the next eight years.

I love meeting fans. They’re always fun, they always have good things to say, smart questions to ask, and plenty of ideas for me to explore in the future Picture Quote #1

I’ve written short stories in first person, but you have so much more control writing in third person. Third person, you know what everybody’s thinking. First person is very limiting, and I could never sustain a first person novel before Picture Quote #1

If you aren’t having fun, if you aren’t anxious to find out what happens next as you write, then not only will you run out of steam on the story, but you won’t be able to entertain anyone else, either Picture Quote #1

What happens to each of my female heroes, certainly, is they find something bigger than themselves that they are honored to serve. It’s not giving up your family Picture Quote #1

What people tell me they take away from my books is that they can shape their lives, they can achieve their own dreams. And certainly that’s what I want them to take away Picture Quote #1

There is power and there is power, my dear. My power can be vast, in the right places Picture Quote #1

I’m sick of this. Call me what you like, say I’m without honor, I don’t care. I’m not getting on any more horses to whack you people with a stick Picture Quote #1

Never before had she seen such creatures, though they looked much live very large, very shaggy white goats. Thin black horns punctuated the top of their long faces. You look like a collection of grandfathers, she thought, amused Picture Quote #1

She’s all over us like maggots on garbage, just because I interfered with one pickpocket yesterday Picture Quote #1

The bravest person I know is afraid of the dark. She sleeps with a night lamp always, but if her friends are threatened? She suddenly thinks she’s a bear twelve feet tall and attacks whoever scared her friends Picture Quote #1

The first thing every mage should learn is that magic makes fools of us. Now you may call yourself a mage. You have learned the most important lesson Picture Quote #1

Men died as she watched, and they didn’t care about what they had fought for Picture Quote #1

I wish we had a sign that this flaming dragon is part of an attack or something. Those dung heaps might think it’s just one of their own monsters enjoying the sunrise Picture Quote #1

When people say a knight’s job is all glory, I laugh, and laugh, and laugh Picture Quote #1

Sweetheart, never listen to what my enemies say. They’re very confused people. I know they are because I’ve spent years making them that way Picture Quote #1
