I’m removed in my real life, and unable to express certain things face to face. So I have always found myself in this fantasy world.

But, if you did, I’d want to be your knight in shining armor. You’ve been through so much. I don’t want to see you hurt anymore. Now I may not be able to give you all that your used to. But I do know I can love you past your pain Picture Quote #1

Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it Picture Quote #1

Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and fairy tales that's all she ever thinks about riding with the wind Picture Quote #1

Let us go forth, the tellers of tales, and seize whatever prey the heart long for, and have no fear. Everything exists, everything is true, and the earth is only a little dust under our feet Picture Quote #1

All the tales of miracles, with which the Old and New Testament are filled, are fit only for impostors to preach and fools to believe Picture Quote #1
