Text Quotes
In a utilitarian age, of all other times, it is a matter of grave importance that fairy tales should be respected  (Fairy Quotes) Every child can remember laying his head in the grass, staring into the infinitesimal forest and seeing it grow populous with fairy armies  (Fairy Quotes) The longing of my heart is a fairy portrait of myself: I want to be pretty; I want to eliminate facts and fill up the gap with charms  (Fairy Quotes) So there are different examples of fairy tales, and sometimes I believe in them and sometimes I don’t  (Fairy Quotes) We should not expect the state to appear in the guise of an extravagant good fairy at every christening, a loquacious companion at every stage of life’s journey, and the unknown mourner at every funeral  (Fairy Quotes) A fairy tale is the kind of story in which one king goes to another king to borrow a cup of sugar  (Fairy Quotes) He reads histories and mythologies and fairy tales, wondering why it seems that only girls are ever swept away from their mundane lives on farms by knights or princes or wolves. It strikes him as unfair to not have the same fanciful opportunity himself. And he is not in the position to do any rescuing of his own  (Fairy Quotes) We know from myths and fairy tales that there are many different kinds of powers in this world. One child is given a light saber, another a wizard’s education. The trick is not to amass all the different kinds of power, but to use well the kind you’ve been granted  (Fairy Quotes) There’s no limit to what you can dream. You expect the unexpected, you believe in magic, in fairy tales, and in possibilities. Then you grow older and that innocence is shattered and somewhere along the way the reality of life gets in the way and you’re hit by the realization that you can’t be all you wanted to be, you just might have to settle for a little bit less  (Fairy Quotes) Fiction can show you a different world. It can take you somewhere you’ve never been. Once you’ve visited other worlds, like those who ate fairy fruit, you can never be entirely content with the world that you grew up in. Discontent is a good thing: discontented people can modify and improve their worlds, leave them better, leave them different  (Fairy Quotes) The firelight magnified our shadows, glinted off the silver, flickered high upon the walls; its reflection roared orange in the windowpanes as if a city were burning outside. The whoosh of the flames was like a flock of birds, trapped and beating in a whirlwind near the ceiling. And I wouldn’t have been at all surprised if the long mahogany banquet table, draped in linen, laden with china and candles and fruit and flowers, had simply vanished into thin air, like a magic casket in a fairy story  (Fairy Quotes) I also like the whole idea of fairy tales and folk tales being a woman’s domain, considered a lesser domain at the time they were told  (Fairy Quotes) On that other novels followed: but I still wrote fairy tales and dreamy poems of another world  (Fairy Quotes) Her godmother, who was a fairy, said to her, you want to go to the ball, don’t you?  (Fairy Quotes) No child but must remember laying his head in the grass, staring into the infinitesimal forest and seeing it grow populous with fairy armies  (Fairy Quotes) One of the best things about folklore and fairy tales is that the best fantasy is what you find right around the corner, in this world. That’s where the old stuff came from  (Fairy Quotes) There have been a number of us working very, very hard to bring myth and fairy tales into public consciousness, through fantasy literature and other media. I hope we’re succeeding in some small way  (Fairy Quotes) Believe me, if all those endearing young charms, which I gaze on so fondly today, were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms, like fairy gifts fading away!  (Fairy Quotes) There was a place in childhood that I remember well, and there a voice of sweetest tone bright fairy tales did tell  (Fairy Quotes) Everything is for sale in Hollywood; the fairy tale, the costume, the pumpkin, the footman and the mice  (Fairy Quotes) Fairy tales and folk tales have always played a role in my writing in one way or another  (Fairy Quotes) No matter what you write, you actually can’t help retelling a fairy tale somewhere along the way  (Fairy Quotes) I am concerned with a certain way of looking at life, which was created in me by the fairy tales, but has since been meekly ratified by the mere facts  (Fairy Quotes) Things we are accustomed to regard as myth or fairy story are very much present in people’s lives. Nice people behave like wicked stepmothers. Every day  (Fairy Quotes) Contrary to what many may think, immortality is not a fairy tale invented to compensate for an unhappy life  (Fairy Quotes) The only words that ever satisfied me as describing nature are the terms used in fairy books, charm, spell, enchantment; they express the arbitrariness of the fact and its mystery  (Fairy Quotes) Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed  (Fairy Quotes) I loved him, but love isn’t enough. All the fairy tales, the romance novels, the soap operas; they’re all lies. Love does not conquer all  (Fairy Quotes) And what do we have here? A scary monster, cowboy, and a fairy princess! Here’s a hit of ecstasy, run along now  (Fairy Quotes) Only thin, weak thinkers despise fairy stories. Each one has a true, strange fact hidden in it, you know, which you can find if you look  (Fairy Quotes)
