Lloyd Alexander quotes about
If the pull of the outside world is strong, there is also a pull towards the human. The cat may disappear on its own errands, but sooner or later, it returns once again for a little while, to greet us with its own type of love.
Two cats can live as cheaply as one, and their owner has twice as much fun
Seize the day, whatever's in it to seize, before something comes along and seizes you.
Neither refuse to give help when it is needed,... nor refuse to accept it when it is offered.
I decided that adventure was the best way to learn about writing.
I only suggest to you: Will you dwell on killing this man? You wish for revenge? If you do, he has already killed you by slow poison. So, let it go. Why waste your time? His life will see to his death.
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.
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.
My parents were horrified when I told them I wanted to be an author.
If writers learn more from their books than do readers, perhaps I may have begun to learn.
If life is a loom, the pattern you weave is not so easily unraveled.
Most cats do not approach humans recklessly. The possibility of concealed weapons, clods or sticks, tend to make them reserved. Homeless cats in particular-with some justification, unfortunately-consider humans their natural enemies. Much ceremony must be observed, and a number of diplomatic feelers put out, before establishing a state of truce.
Are you slow-witted? I'm so sorry for you. It's terrible to be dull and stupid.
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.
