A shade of sorrow passed over Taliesin's face. 'There are those,' he said gently, 'who must first learn loss, despair, and grief. Of all paths to wisdom, this is the cruelest and longest. Are you one who must follow such a way? This even I cannot know. If you are, take heart nonetheless. Those who reach the end do more than gain wisdom. As rough wool becomes cloth, and crude clay a vessel, so do they change and fashion wisdom for others, and what they give back is greater than what they won. Lloyd Alexander
Lloyd Alexander quote: "I decided that adventure was the best way to learn about writing."
I decided that adventure was the best way to learn about writing. 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
Lloyd Alexander quote: "If writers learn more from their books than do readers,..."
If writers learn more from their books than do readers, perhaps I may have begun to learn. Lloyd Alexander
Lloyd Alexander quote: "My concern is how we learn to be genuine human beings."
My concern is how we learn to be genuine human beings. Lloyd Alexander
You must know nothing before you can learn something, and be empty before you can be filled. Is not the emptiness of the bowl what makes it useful? As for laws, a parrot can repeat them word for word. Their spirit is something else again. As for governing, one must first be lowest before being highest. Lloyd Alexander
Lloyd Alexander quote: "We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not..."
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
