I like writing about women, weak and strong, pathetic and heroic. I like writing about men, ditto. And all the variants of men and women, beasts and demons. Tanith Lee
Often misunderstood, Dionysus is far more than a wine deity. He is the Breaker of Chains, who rescues not only the flesh but the heart and spirit from too much of worldly regulations and duties.

Tanith Lee quote: "As a child, my mother told me lots of fairy stories, many her..."
As a child, my mother told me lots of fairy stories, many her own invention. She, too, tended to reverse the norm. Tanith Lee
It's very selfish when I write. I'm not aware, ever, of writing for another person; I'm not even really aware of writing for myself. Tanith Lee
She was what an aristocrat should be, porcelain and silk, unreachable, gracious, untainted by the dust of all this common death. Tanith Lee
Tanith Lee quote: "Maidens who stay maidens turn into saints. Old women become..."
Maidens who stay maidens turn into saints. Old women become sorceresses. Tough jobs, both of these. Tanith Lee
