I wanted to share this first quote with you. It's one of my all-time favorites. It seemed a little lonely all by itself in this post, so I hunted up a few more for you."Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist (we know that dragons exist), but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” -G.K. Chesterton
"I always felt and still feel that fairy tales have an emotional truth that is so deep that there are few things that really rival them." -Alice Hoffman
"Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale." -Hans Christian Anderson
"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." -Terri Windling
"This is a work of fiction. All the characters in it, human and otherwise, are imaginary, excepting only certain of the fairy folk, whom it might be unwise to offend by casting doubts on their existence. Or lack thereof." -Neil Gaiman
"Fable is more historical than fact, because fact tells us about one man and fable tells us about a million men." -GK Chesterton
