June 3rd: Marion Zimmer Bradley

The author Marion Zimmer Bradley was born on this date in 1930, so here are some quotes from her:

  1. The road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveller than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.
  2. If you know your own heart, you will always have one friend who does not lie.
  3. To know you are ignorant is the beginning of wisdom.
  4. There is no sorrow like the memory of love and the knowledge that it is gone forever.
  5. Of all things we mortals are called upon to do, the most difficult is forgiveness; in order to truly do it, you will probably have to behave as if you already have forgiven for quite a while before you have actually done so.
  6. I have called on the Goddess and found her within myself.
  7. Avalon will always be there for all men to find if they can seek the way thither, throughout all the ages past the ages. If they cannot find the way to Avalon, it is a sign, perhaps, that they are not ready.
  8. And as men believe, so their world goes.
  9. A life path may have strange twists and turnings, and we do not always end up where we intend to go.
  10. The man who feels fear without cause is a fool; but the man is twice a fool who does not feel fear when there is cause.
