Lloyd Alexander
“Neither refuse to give help when it is needed,... nor refuse to accept it when it is offered.”
Lloyd Alexander, The Book of Three

“Indeed, the more we find to love, the more we add to the measure of our hearts.”
Lloyd Alexander, The Black Cauldron

Lloyd Alexander
“Evil conquered?' said Gwydion. 'You have learned much, but learn this last and hardest of lessons. You have conquered only the enchantments of evil. That was the easiest of your tasks, only a beginning, not an ending. Do you believe evil itself to be so quickly overcome? Not so long as men still hate and slay each other, when greed and anger goad them. Against these even a flaming sword cannot prevail, but only that portion of good in all men's hearts whose flame can never be quenched.”
Lloyd Alexander, The High King

Lloyd Alexander
“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.”
Lloyd Alexander, The Book of Three

Lloyd Alexander
“Long ago I yearned to be a hero without knowing, in truth, what a hero was. Now, perhaps, I understand it a little better. A grower of turnips or a shaper of clay, a Commot farmer or a king--every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone.
Once you told me that the seeking counts more than the finding. So, too, must the striving count more than the gain.”
Lloyd Alexander, The High King
