Tales Quotes

To young men contemplating a voyage I would say go. The tales of rough usage are for the most part exaggerations, as also are the tales of sea danger. To face the elements is, to be sure, no light matter when the sea is in its grandest mood. You must then know the sea, and know that you know it, and not forget that it was made to be sailed over Picture Quote #1

Pleasing things: finding a large number of tales that one has not read before. Or acquiring the second volume of a tale whose first volume one has enjoyed. But often it is a disappointment Picture Quote #1

All my tales are true, drawn from life, and a life story is not a tidy thing Picture Quote #1

Teaching is a sacred art. This is why the noblest druid is not the one who conjures fires and smoke but the one who brings the news and passes on the histories. The teacher, the bard, the singer of tales is a freer of men’s minds and bodies, especially when he roams without allegiance to one chieftain or another. But he is also a danger to the masters if he insists upon telling the truth. The truth will inevitably cause tremors in those who cling to power without honoring justice Picture Quote #1

Never tell tales about a woman. No matter how far away she is, shell always hear you Picture Quote #1

People seem always actually to know, with a degree of pain that has required the comfort of fairy tales, that when you are dressed in any particular way at all, you are revealed rather than hidden Picture Quote #1

A curious thing about atrocity stories is that they mirror, instead of the events they purport to describe, the extent of the hatred of the people that tell them. Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder Picture Quote #1

I never grew up reading or fantasizing about fairy tales. I was always too busy, like, outside being a kid Picture Quote #1

I like being scared, so I’ve always liked fairy tales because they’re kind of creepy Picture Quote #1

I grew up with a lot of fairy tales. And they had an essence of darkness to them Picture Quote #1

All these tales of people sitting down and composing symphonies just as though they were writing a letter are very much exaggerated; at least, it isn’t that way in my work Picture Quote #1

A man should be careful never to tell tales of himself to his own disadvantage. People may be amused at the time, but they will be remembered, and brought out against him upon some subsequent occasion Picture Quote #1

Over the centuries we have transformed the ancient myths and folk tales and made them into the fabric of our lives. Consciously and unconsciously we weave the narratives of myth and folk tale into our daily existence Picture Quote #1

Fairy tales and mythology have always been an exaggerated distillation of the real world. Think of them as blueprints for how to deal with a multitude of situations that can arise in a person’s life. The beauty of them is that their analogies resonate so deeply and they also entertain while they teach Picture Quote #1

We’re all just big kids. That’s all we are. We are artistes. We grew up wanting to be part of the fantasy of the fairy tales and the stories Picture Quote #1

Fairy tales lie just as much as statistics do, but sometimes you can find a grain of truth in them Picture Quote #1

The narrative of so many fairy tales are timeless in so many different cultures, and they have been since the dawn of man. They represent escapism, but they all feature themes that have such poignancy in a modern world Picture Quote #1

Change is the essence of life; change is the great challenge, the great constant. Change is the ultimate teller of tales Picture Quote #1

We believed the fairy tales we told our children and we loved them beyond reason even when we were green and bungling about it. We were children loving our children. And that’s who we are still Picture Quote #1

People tend to think of fairy tales as archetypal. They are also extremely sensual, something which translates well over the ages Picture Quote #1

What I like about fairy tales is that they highlight the emotions within a story. The situations aren’t real, with falling stars and pirates. But what you do relate to is the emotions that the characters feel Picture Quote #1

Fairy tales, because they have a very clear structure, are easier to interfere with. Also they have this really weird logic: the kind of logic that you only really experience when you’re not feeling very well, or as a child Picture Quote #1

I think people should read fairy tales, because were hungry for a mythology that will speak to our fears Picture Quote #1

Plato found fault that the poets of his time filled the world with wrong opinions of the gods, making light tales of that unspotted essence, and therefore would not have the youth depraved with such opinions Picture Quote #1

I have always been fascinated by the supernatural elements in stories, whether fairy tales, myths, film or literature Picture Quote #1

The most improbable tales can be made believable, if your reader, through his sense, feels certain that he stands at the middle of events Picture Quote #1

There are constant cycles in history. There is loss, but it is always followed by regeneration. The tales of our elders who remember such cycles are very important to us now Picture Quote #1

I wake each day and try to see what I might do that is of some value and joy. It’s a strange life. I don’t know how long it’ll go on. I don’t look past tomorrow. Anything beyond tomorrow seems like hearsay. Or fairy tales Picture Quote #1

No society that feeds its children on tales of successful violence can expect them not to believe that violence in the end is rewarded Picture Quote #1

Don’t talk me about religion! Don’t talk me about tales for children! Be serious! Trust science, because only the science can save you! Picture Quote #1
