Only
those who truly love and who are truly strong can sustain their lives as a
dream.
You dwell in your own enchantment. Life throws stones at you, but your love and your dream change those stones into the flowers of discovery.
Even if
you lose, or are defeated by things, your triumph will always be exemplary. And
if no one knows it, then there are places that do.
People like you enrich the
dreams of the worlds, and it is dreams that create history.
People like you are
unknowing transformers of things, protected by your own fairy-tale, by
love.
Ben Okri
Fairy tales are experienced
by their hearers and readers
not as realistic, but as symbolic poetry.
Max Luthi
One day you will be old enough to start reading Fairy Tales again. C.S. Lewis
At all ages, if
fantasy is used well by the author
and meets the right reader, it has the
power to give us experiences
we have
never had and thus, instead of 'commenting on life,' can add to
it.
C.S.
Lewis
He is
rich who owns the day.
There is no king, rich man, fairy, or demon
who
possesses such power as
that.
Ralph Waldo
Emerson
In a utilitarian age, of all other
times,
it is a matter of grave importance
that fairy tales should be respected.
Charles Dickens
The way to read a fairy tale
is to throw yourself in.
W.H. Auden
