British author (1947- )
Danger and anger are everywhere. Love is the rarity, the gem buried in the core of the mine, the outpost of God.

Metallic Love
If anyone ever wonders why there's nothing coming from me, it's not my fault. I'm doing the work. No, I haven't deteriorated or gone insane. Suddenly, I just can't get anything into print. And apparently I'm not alone in this. There are people of very high standing, authors who are having problems. So I have been told. In my own case, the more disturbing element is the editor-in-chief who said to me, "I think this book is terrific. It ought to be in print. I can't publish it -- I've been told I mustn't." The indication is that I'm not writing what people want to read, but I never did.

Are not all loves secretly the same? A hundred flowers sprung from a single root.

Night's Master
It was not apathy. It was an intelligent disinterest in those things that could have no bearing on one's existence.

Red as Blood; or Tales from the Sisters Grimmer
Women are so sensitive, darling. They have to be. They have to be aware what a man wants, what their children want. They have antennae all over them, whiskers of feeling. And unfortunately that has a down side. It means they get hurt.

The soul is a magician. Only living flesh hampers it.

Mortal Suns
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. He is a god of joy and freedom. Any uncultivated, tangled, and primal woodland is very much his domain.

The Green Man: Tales from the Mythic Forest
Men are not the causers of history. History itself, by a pressure of events, causes men to resort to particular actions.
