Andre Norton Quotations

Perhaps it is because cats do not live by human patterns, do not fit themselves into prescribed behavior, that they are so united to creative people.

I think the human race made a big mistake at the beginning of the industrial revolution, we leaped for the mechanical things, people need the use of their hands to feel creative.

As for courage and will - we cannot measure how much of each lies within us, we can only trust there will be sufficient to carry through trials which may lie ahead.

Always the cat remains a little beyond the limits we try to set for him in our blind folly.

Either the law exists, or it does not.

... we are each shaped from our birth, not only by the blood and inheritance that lies behind us, but also by those we love and by whom we are loved in turn, by the knowledge given to our thirsty minds, to the learning of ourselves.

Do not fear so, here is one who would be a blade at your back. A shield across your breast. Here is kin, here is strength to lean upon, to share as you share in need.

We have met and hated, fought and died before - you and I. Kepta to Garin People of the Crater. Andre Norton.

Victory belong to the most persevering.

There's no night without stars.

A treasure...at the top of any list of fantasy to be cherished.

Rumor ... often is fathered and mothered by false reports.

There is no cure for narrowness of mind ...

The knife flaying the elephant does not have to be large, only sharp!

There is no weapon in the end as difficult to overcome as the tongue of an enemy.
