Those who love fairytales ordsprog
 During my childhood I didn't need to hear stories about evil ogres eating children and so forth; the foreign devils my mother told me about were more barbaric and cruel than any fairy tale ogre with a huge mouth and great fangs. And fairy tales are only fairy tales, whereas my mother's stories were 100 percent factual, and they directly affected our whole family. |
| I was a great reader of fairy tales. I tried to read the entire fairy tale section of the library: Andrew Lang's Blue Fairy Book, Red Fairy Book, and so on, probably down to the Puce or Chartreuse fairy tales. |
| I love fairy tales because I think that behind fairy tales, there is always a meaning. |
| Tolkien reintroduced the world of fairy tale to a new audience. It was a very traditional image of fairy tale -- elves, dwarves, trolls, dragons, wizards. Those have all come out of fairy tales. But Tolkien put the whole thing on the map, ... A lot of that stuff is traditional material that he has codified and rationalized in a kind of 20th-century way. |
Tom Shippey (1943-)
| To love someone is to acknowledge the goodness of who they are. Through loving a person we awaken their awareness of their own innate goodness. It is as though they cannot know how worthy they are until they look into the mirror of our love and see themselves. |
| When fairy tales are written in the west, they're known as folklore. In the east, fairy tales are called religions. |
 När man var liten trodde man på sagor, fantasin om hur livet skulle bli, vit klänning, en charmig prins som skulle föra bort en till ett slott på en kulle. Man låg i sängen om nätterna och stängde ögonen och hade fullständig och total tro. Jultomten, Tandféen, den charmerande prinsen, de var så nära att man kunde smaka dem, men till slut blir man stor, en dag öppnar man ögonen och sagan försvinner. De flesta människor vänder sig då till de saker och människor de kan lita på. Men det är svårt att släppa taget om sagan helt och hållet eftersom nästan alla har den minsta gnista hopp, av tro, att en dag ska de öppna ögonen och den ska bli sann. | You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true. |

| Life is given for wisdom, and yet we are not wise; for goodness, and we are not good; for overcoming evil, and evil remains; for patience and sympathy and love, and yet we are fretful and hard and weak and selfish. We are keyed not to attainment, but to the struggle toward it. |

| It all began with a simple observation: Fairy tales always focus on the princess and the prince. The godmother is usually a stock character, fairly one-dimensional. But what about her journey, her trials and tribulations? After all, fairyhood is essentially a job, like waiting tables, or litigating. What's it really like to be a fairy day in and day out? Since all fairy tales need a spell of some kind and it's all been done before, we tried to find an original approach. It occurred to us that it would be more exciting to engage the audience's imagination throughout the show by having Izzy place the spell on the kingdom and not on the princess. It makes the audience imagine horns and warts and scales of green that aren't really there. |

God has made them in his own image, with his own perfections; no one wants to be reminded how hard it is to reconcile the undeniable existence-in spite of all the protestations of Christian Science-of evil with His omnipotence and supreme goodness.".
