Top Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Crystal Woods

As in most fairy tales, there's a prince and a princess, dragons and some magic, and the feeling it gives you that anything is possible if we could stay this way forever. — Crystal Woods

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Richelle E. Goodrich

How crazy it would be
if the moon did spin
and the earth stood still
and the sun went dim!

How absolutely ludicrous
if snakes could walk
and kids could fly
and mimes did talk!

How silly it would be
if the nights were tan
and the mornings green
and the sun cyan!

How totally ridiculous
if horses chirped
and spiders sang
and ladies burped!

How shocking it would be
if the dragons ruled
and the knights were daft
but the fish were schooled!

How utterly preposterous
if rain were dry
and snowflakes warm
and real men cried!

I love to just imagine
all the lows as heights,
and the salty, sweet,
and our lefts as rights.

Perhaps it is incredible
and off the hook,
but it all makes sense
in a storybook! — Richelle E. Goodrich

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By John Howe

Dragons and bridges are very much something out of fairy tales and fantasy. — John Howe

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Juliette Cross

Never stray from your own kind, Jessen," my mother would say, "or you could end up like Princess Morga, a slave and outcast to be abhorred."

The problem was, I'd never been a very obedient daughter. Never the one to do exactly as I was told. And fairy tales have no meaning when the stars align and Fortune spins her wheel, weaving her own story for your heart. — Juliette Cross

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Sarah J. Maas

I've always been a huge fantasy fan. I was always interested in fairy tales and anything with magic or dragons ... I was always drawn to those types of stories. — Sarah J. Maas

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Bruce McQueen

Imagine a perfect world — Bruce McQueen

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By G.K. Chesterton

Oddities only strike ordinary people. Oddities do not strike odd people. This is why ordinary people have a much more exciting time; while odd people are always complaining of the dulness of life. This is also why the new novels die so quickly, and why the old fairy tales endure for ever. The old fairy tale makes the hero a normal human boy; it is his adventures that are startling; they startle him because he is normal. But in the modern psychological novel the hero is abnormal; the centre is not central. Hence the fiercest adventures fail to affect him adequately, and the book is monotonous. You can make a story out of a hero among dragons; but not out of a dragon among dragons. The fairy tale discusses what a sane man will do in a mad world. The sober realistic novel of to-day discusses what an essential lunatic will do in a dull world. — G.K. Chesterton

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Anais Nin

What I corrupted was what is called the truth in favour of a more marvelous world. I could always improve on the facts.
[ ... ] in self-defense, I accuse the writers of fairy-tales. Not hunger, not cruelty, not my parents, but these tales which promised that sleeping in the snow never caused pneumonia, that bread never turned stale, that trees blossomed out of season, that dragons could be killed with courage, that intense wishing would be followed immediately by fulfillment of the wish. Intrepid wishing, said the fairytales, was more effective than labor. The smoke issuing from Aladdin's lamp was my first smokescreen, and the lies learned from fairytales were my first perjuries. Let us say I had perverted tendencies: I believed everything I read. — Anais Nin

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Claire Stibbe

G. K. Chesterton once said, 'Fairy tales are more than true, not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten.'" She — Claire Stibbe

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Deborah Blake

Some things were only possible in fairy tales. And not the kind of fairy tales that Baba Yagas featured in; those tended not to have happy endings. — Deborah Blake

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Neil Gaiman

(Fairy tales, as G. K. Chesterton* once pointed out, are not true. They are more than true. Not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be defeated.) V — Neil Gaiman

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By George R R Martin

I believe in steel swords, gold coins, and man's wits. ( ... ) And I believe there once were dragons. I've seen their skulls, after all. — George R R Martin

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By G.K. Chesterton

Fairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey. What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon. — G.K. Chesterton

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Mike Carey

Dragons were a problem sometimes, but they only came on Tuesdays, so you could work around them. — Mike Carey

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Nenia Campbell

Fairytales by nature only talk about the victors. The survivors. Nobody speaks about what happens to those who failed, except in the abstract: as cautionary tales to guide others onto the path to success. How many brave knights fell to the dragon before he was slayed by the noble prince? How many children burned to a crisp and eaten before the wicked witch received her due? These stories are lost, but the lesson behind them is not: it is not enough to be merely pure and good. — Nenia Campbell

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Neil Gaiman

Fantasy - and all fiction is fantasy of one kind or another - is a mirror. A distorting mirror, to be sure, and a concealing mirror, set at forty-five degrees to reality, but it's a mirror nonetheless, which we can use to tell ourselves things we might not otherwise see. (Fairy tales, as G. K Chesterton once said, are more than true. Not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be defeated.) — Neil Gaiman

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By R. Queen

Everyone wants the fairy tale, but don't forget there are dragons in those stories. — R. Queen

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Joseph Abbruscato

Children are more able to objectively synthesize a story involving vampires, monsters, or dragons due to the distance afforded by the fantastical elements than they are a story revolving around horrors committed by human beings. — Joseph Abbruscato

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Gilbert K. Chesterton

Fairy tales are more than true ... — Gilbert K. Chesterton

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Diana Wynne Jones

But most dragons seem to have interesting personalities
besides probably having quite good reasons for what they do, if only one could understand them — Diana Wynne Jones

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Deborah Blake

I've got the perfect dress. It's going to knock your socks off."
Marcus wasn't sure if that was good or bad, but he couldn't wait to find out. — Deborah Blake

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Elias Zapple

Anyway, it's unthinkable! Dragons and knights are born enemies. They need to be enemies just like dogs hate cats, cats hate mice and mice hate scientists. Without somebody to hate where would all the hate go? The hate would just boil up inside you, eat away and cause you to have indigestion then a heart attack. We need to release the anger, and we release it on dragons who release it back on us. We slay them and they roast us. It is the natural order of things, Emma. — Elias Zapple

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By G.K. Chesterton

Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed. — G.K. Chesterton

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Neil Gaiman

Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten. — Neil Gaiman

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Emma Trevayne

The landscape always changed, but the magic never did. The tales were told to children wrapped up in sheets, to frighten or to soothe, but those doing the telling didn't have to believe. Perhaps it was just as well that they didn't, for the stories got so much of it wrong. They always do. The legends told of dragons and faeries, of locked towers and imprisoned princesses, and this was true enough. — Emma Trevayne

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Kiley Kellermeyer

Keep your sword close and your friends closer. — Kiley Kellermeyer

Dragons And Fairy Tales Quotes By Kate DiCamillo

Fairy tales dont tell you that dragons are real, but that they can be defeated! — Kate DiCamillo
