“I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which 'Escape' is now so often used.

― J.R.R. Tolkien

“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
