Tales Quotes

All great novels are great fairy tales Picture Quote #1

Even nightingales can’t be fed on fairy tales Picture Quote #1

...fairy tales, just a fancy word for lies Picture Quote #1

I love fairy tales and feel very affected by them Picture Quote #1

Modern morality and manners suppress all natural instincts, keep people ignorant of the facts of nature and make them fighting drunk on bogey tales Picture Quote #1

PDR: Persons of Dubious Reality; refugees from the collective consciousness. Uninvited visitors who have fallen through the grating that divides the real, from the written. They arrive with their actions hardwired due to their repetitious existence and the older and more basic they are, the more rigidly they stick to them. Characters from cautionary tales are particularly mindless; they do what they do because it's what they've always done. And it's our job to stop them Picture Quote #1

Think what you would have been now, if instead of being fed with tales and old wives' fables in childhood, you had been crammed with geography and natural history! Picture Quote #1

I often forget that other people's stories aren't simply introductions to my own more engaging, more dramatic, more relevant, and better-told tales, but rather ends in themselves, tales I can learn from or repeat or dissect or savor Picture Quote #1

Then, just at the peak of complacency, when it was assumed that the climate of the world had changed forever, when the conductor of the philharmonic played Vivaldi's Four Seasons and left out an entire movement, and when to children of a young age stories of winter were told as if they were fairy tales, New York was hit by a cataclysmic freeze, and, once again, people huddled together to talk fearfully of the millennium Picture Quote #1

Men fear Death, as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other Picture Quote #1

Wept o'er his wounds, or tales of sorrow done, Shoulder'd his crutch, and shew'd how fields were won Picture Quote #1

The broken soldier, kindly bade to stay; sat by his fire, and talked the night away, wept o'er his wounds, or tales of sorrow done, shoulder'd his crutch, and show'd how fields were won Picture Quote #1

As for you and your heart and the things you said and didn't say, she will remember them all when men are fairy tales in books written by rabbits Picture Quote #1

She knows that whispers can be useful. Sometimes they contain real information. But usually they're fairy tales and lies. This is the worst kind of whisper, the kind that draws you in, gives you hope Picture Quote #1

All the tales of miracles, with which the Old and New Testament are filled, are fit only for impostors to preach and fools to believe Picture Quote #1

Let us go forth, the tellers of tales, and seize whatever prey the heart long for, and have no fear. Everything exists, everything is true, and the earth is only a little dust under our feet Picture Quote #1

Children are natural mythologists: They beg to be told tales, and love not only to invent but to enact falsehoods Picture Quote #1

My story and my stories are all, in one or another, the same, tales of solitude and the grand pursuit of connection, of success and the inevitability of defeat Picture Quote #1

None of [the books are] worth reading. There are no fairy tales, no faerie tails, no sword - swinging princesses or lightning - throwing gods 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

My mind gave me, in seeking tales and informations Against this man, whose honesty the devil and his disciples only envy at, ye blew the fire that burns ye: now have at ye! Picture Quote #1

There's nothing deeper than love. In fairy tales, the princesses kiss the frogs, and the frogs become princes. In real life, the princesses kiss princes, and the princes turn into frogs Picture Quote #1

Then there was Clark Ashton Smith, who wrote for Weird Tales and who had a wild imagination. He wasn't a very talented writer, but his imagination was wonderful Picture Quote #1
