“The way to read a fairy tale is to throw yourself in.”
― W.H. Auden

“Not just beautiful, though--the stars are like the trees in the forest, alive and breathing. And they're watching me.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Did you think the lion was sleeping because he didn't roar?”
― Friedrich Schiller, Die Verschwörung des Fiesco zu Genua

“Think of every fairy-tale villainess you've ever heard of. Think of the wicked witches, the evil queens, the mad enchantresses. Think of the alluring sirens, the hungry ogresses, the savage she-beasts. Think of them and remember that somewhere, sometime, they've all been real.

Mab gave them lessons.”
― Jim Butcher, Small Favor
