“La Fantasía es una actividad connatural al hombre. Claro está que ni destruye ni ofende a la Razón. Y tampoco inhibe nuestra búsqueda ni empaña nuestra percepción de las verdades científicas. Al contrario. Cuanto más aguda y más clara sea la razón, más cerca se encontrará de la Fantasía. Si el hombre llegara a hallarse alguna vez en un estado tal que le impidiese o le privase de la voluntad de conocer o percibir la verdad (hechos o evidencias), la Fantasía languidecería hasta que la humanidad sanase.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien

“Niños, la ficción es la verdad que se encuentra dentro de la mentira y la verdad de esta ficción es muy sencilla: la magia existe.”
― Stephen King, It

“Your death has not been waiting for your arrival at the appointed hour: it has, for all the years of your life, been racing towards you with the fierce velocity of time's arrow. It cannot be evaded, it cannot be bargained with, deflected or placated. All that is given to you is the choice: meet it with open eyes and peace in your heart, go gentle to your reward. Or burn bright, take up arms, and fight the bitch.”
― Mark Lawrence, Red Sister

“Fantasy is a natural human activity. It certainly does not destroy or even insult Reason; and it does not either blunt the appetite for, nor obscure the perception of, scientific verity. On the contrary. The keener and the clearer is the reason, the better fantasy will it make. If men were ever in a state in which they did not want to know or could not perceive truth (facts or evidence), then Fantasy would languish until they were cured. If they ever get into that state (it would not seem at all impossible), Fantasy will perish, and become Morbid Delusion.

For creative Fantasy is founded upon the hard recognition that things are so in the world as it appears under the sun; on a recognition of fact, but not a slavery to it. So upon logic was founded the nonsense that displays itself in the tales and rhymes of Lewis Carroll. If men really could not distinguish between frogs and men, fairy-stories about frog-kings would not have arisen.”
