Terri Windling Quotes

I have a great respect for the academics who are working with the source material. My hat’s off to them Picture Quote #1

There have been a number of us working very, very hard to bring myth and fairy tales into public consciousness, through fantasy literature and other media. I hope we’re succeeding in some small way Picture Quote #1

Once upon a time, they say, there was a girl...there was a boy...there was a person who was in trouble. And this is what she did...and what he did...and how they learned to survive it. This is what they did...and why one failed...and why another triumphed in the end. And I know that it’s true, because I danced at their wedding and drank their very best wine Picture Quote #1

Happiness is a talent like any other. It’s another art form. Some people are good at it, some people aren’t Picture Quote #1

We’ve always lived in dark times. There has always been a range of human experience from the sublime to the brutal, and stories reflect it. It’s no less brutal now; each age has its horrors Picture Quote #1

Though now we think of fairy tales as stories intended for very young children, this is a relatively modern idea. In the oral tradition, magical stories were enjoyed by listeners young and old alike, while literary fairy tales (including most of the tales that are best known today) were published primarily for adult readers until the 19th century Picture Quote #1

When I was younger, I was in love with everything about the British Isles, from British folklore to Celtic music. That was always where my passions were as a young girl, and so I studied folklore as a college student in England and Ireland Picture Quote #1

Magic Realism is not new. The label’s new, the specific Latin American form of it is new, its modern popularity is new, but it’s been around as long as literature has been around Picture Quote #1

But for me, really, the written word is always stronger than film Picture Quote #1

I’d like to encourage people to please keep reading-and most importantly, to please keep trying new writers. The only way we can bring fresh new material into the field is if people go out and buy it Picture Quote #1

I like Celtic folk music, Native American music, and any kind of early music. There isn’t a lot of music that I don’t like... except for Show Tunes Picture Quote #1

Since fantasy isn’t about technology, the accelleration has no impact at all. But it’s changed the lives of fantasy writers and editors. I get to live in England and work for a New York publisher! Picture Quote #1

Filmmaking can be a fine art Picture Quote #1

I’m working on a very long series of paintings based on desert folklore Picture Quote #1

Our lives are our mythic journeys, and our happy endings are still to be won Picture Quote #1

A good novel editor is invisible Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be a scientist. But I had no math skills Picture Quote #1

I’m also looking for gems that the average reader might have missed Picture Quote #1

I’m an artist, I’m not an academic folklorist Picture Quote #1

The first job I was offered was as an editorial assistant. I think it was the best thing for me, in terms of being a storyteller by nature, to have spent years being an editor because I learned so much from it Picture Quote #1

What I find interesting about folklore is the dialogue it gives us with storytellers from centuries past Picture Quote #1

Once upon a time fairy tales were told to audiences of young and old alike. It is only in the last century that such tales were deemed fit only for small children, stripped of much of their original complexity, sensuality, and power to frighten and delight Picture Quote #1

Once upon a time, they say, there was a girl... there was a boy... there was a person who was in trouble. And this is what she did... and what he did... and how they learned to survive it. This is what they did... and why one failed... and why another triumphed in the end. And I know that it’s true, because I danced at their wedding and drank their very best wine Picture Quote #1

The simple truth is that being a creative artist takes courage; it’s not a job for the faint of heart. It takes courage each and every time you put a book or poem or painting before the public, because it is, in fact, enormously revealing Picture Quote #1

There’s that old adage about how there’s only seven plots in the world and Shakespeare’s done them all before Picture Quote #1

There have been a number of us working very, very hard to bring myth and fairy tales into public consciousness, through fantasy literature and other media. I hope we’re succeeding in some small way Picture Quote #1

There are plenty of bad editors who try to impose their own vision on a book Picture Quote #1
