“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
C.S. Lewis

“the story of his life, the inexhaustible, the fairy, the Arabian Nights story.”
Mark Twain
“I was a great reader of fairy tales. I tried to read the entire fairy tale section of the library: Andrew Lang's Blue Fairy Book, Red Fairy Book, and so on, probably down to the Puce or Chartreuse fairy tales.”
Beverly Cleary
“I am often asked why I nearly always select old material, fairy tales and legends for my stage works. I do not look upon them as old, but rather as valid material. The time element disappears, and only the spiritual power remains. My entire interest is in the expression of spiritual realities. I write for the theater in order to convey a spiritual attitude.”
Carl Orff
“The movie is really a fairy tale about the guys who wrote fairy tales. It's also an excuse for Terry to create an entire world, which is what he does so well. He has his wide-angle lenses and extravagant production design. His frames are so densely packed with information. He directs like no one else.”
Matt Damon
“This has to be a fairy tale because I never read a book like his.”
