Fairy Quotes

Fairy tales are stories of triumph and transformation and true love, all things I fervently believe in Picture Quote #1

As cynical as I can be, there’s always a part of me that believes in love and the fairy tale Picture Quote #1

I believe in fairy tales. They are the basis of all our performance of storytelling and film-making - when we twist the real events of the world into something that offers us hope - and I believe in that Picture Quote #1

I am 39. I am single. I am a black woman. I have too many advanced degrees. Many a news story tells me finding true love is likely a hopeless proposition. Now is the time when I need to believe in fairy tales Picture Quote #1

I want to tell women that you need to love yourself and make yourself a priority. It’s only when you are happy yourself, can you make everyone else around you happy. I am still a dreamer and still believe in fairy tales, but there is only that much one should give another person. You need to keep something for yourself Picture Quote #1

Nicholas wanted to believe in fairy tales. She’d read her share, hoping for miracles, but in the end, there was no hundred acre wood to play in with her little stuffed animals. There was pain and crushing disillusionment and betrayal Picture Quote #1

So there are different examples of fairy tales, and sometimes I believe in them and sometimes I don’t Picture Quote #1

I began to believe the fairy tales: You know, how we’re all out there looking for our magical missing half Picture Quote #1

My parents read me fairy tales every night and I used to believe I was a fairytale princess, like every young girl. I had all the Disney dressing-up costumes and would play every character Picture Quote #1

I used to have the ‘Best Of Eddie Murphy’ VHS tape that I wore out completely, watching it over and over again. His ‘Buckwheat Sings’ is, to this day, one of my all-time favorite sketches on the show. I also loved the one where he plays the Tooth Fairy Picture Quote #1

I’ve always liked fairy tale and spectacle. I wouldn’t say I was a fantasy fan, but anything beyond reality I’ve always found exciting - the work of David Lynch, the work of Tim Burton. But for me, I also love those things that are absolutely about human relationships Picture Quote #1

I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity Picture Quote #1

When you hear the words ‘magic’ and ‘story’, they will probably evoke thoughts of your favourite fairy tales from childhood. Storybook pages abound with all manner of magic: fantastical fairies, wish-granting genies, or even a certain boy wizard Picture Quote #1

You cannot make a social-conscious picture in which you say that the intermediary between the hand and the brain is the heart. I mean, that’s a fairy tale - definitely Picture Quote #1

I love the stories of changelings and the thought that the Fey were these ancient, capricious creatures who were tricky and dangerous. I’ve always preferred the Brothers Grimm faery tales to the Disney fairy tales Picture Quote #1

I was raised on the brothers Grimm, but my favorite fairy tales in the world are Oscar Wilde’s - ‘The Nightingale and the Rose,’ ‘The Selfish Giant.’ The latter is probably my all-time favorite Picture Quote #1

I love that very traditional fairy tale where it’s not all ‘happily ever after.’ I like all that old school, bloody, ‘Brothers Grimm’ sort of stuff. So you have all those shades of gray in there Picture Quote #1

Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten Picture Quote #1

Come away, O human child: To the waters and the wild with a fairy, hand in hand, For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand Picture Quote #1

Aunt Syl must have conveniently stopped reading the childhood fairy tales when the knight left the damsel in distress to pursue a better damsel out of my bedtime routine Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, violent details have been eliminated from fairy tales simply because they were deemed too graphic. So one does not, at the end of Disney’s version of ‘Cinderella,’ see the stepsisters’ eyes get pecked and pecked by doves, because Disney wanted to market the story for wholesome family viewing Picture Quote #1

It’s the problem with fairy tales. From far away, they seem so perfect. But up close, they’re just as complicated as real life Picture Quote #1

When I was studying, I was part of a children’s entertainment company, and I’d have to dress up as a pirate or fairy and go to corporate parties and entertain the children. I will never, ever do that again. The worst was the demanding children - I’ve never been so exhausted doing a job as that one Picture Quote #1

Human beings never enjoy complete happiness in this world. I was not born for a different destiny to the rest of my species: to imagine such a lot befalling me is a fairy tale -- a daydream. Which I can and will realise. I shall begin today Picture Quote #1

The escape to an unchallenging fairy tale can be very nice and I’m all for that, but film can also challenge you to confront the realities of our world Picture Quote #1

To portray an iconic character has been brilliant in itself, and to be able to do that on a show like ‘Once Upon a Time’ enhances that because the show puts a spin on characters and makes them very different and puts core values that are very different that aren’t in the original fairy tales a lot of people relate to Picture Quote #1

How old is too old to stop believing in, like, the tooth fairy? Like 12? I’ve got a cousin who is 18... Yeah, still believes in gay marriage Picture Quote #1

If you want to tell grown-up fairy tales, you have to look for the dark side Picture Quote #1

My deceased grandmother on my mom’s side was a real fairy godmother, who lived to be 102 and who I always feel is looking after me Picture Quote #1
