Gyula Illyés
These tales, without exception, express the truth that justice triumphs in the end. They all contain the idea that it is worth while to fight for the truth, in any situation. In this fight man is assisted by more powerful beings than ordinary mortals. And the triumph of justice is the only sense and consolation in this world. Indeed, the world itself started out with this hope. The human race received it long, long ago as a cradle-song.
Gyula Illyes, Once Upon a Time: Forty Hungarian Folk-Tales

Emmanuelle de Maupassant
And we, from within the sigh of the trees, and the soft moss underfoot, and the calling of night birds, watched him as he watched, gazing where he should not.
Emmanuelle de Maupassant, Cautionary Tales: Voices from the Edges
