Famous quotes containing the word fairy:

    Hand in hand, with fairy grace,
    Will we sing, and bless this place.

    Every time a child says “I don’t believe in fairies” there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead.
    —J.M. (James Matthew)

    A child... who has learned from fairy stories to believe that what at first seemed a repulsive, threatening figure can magically change into a most helpful friend is ready to believe that a strange child whom he meets and fears may also be changed from a menace into a desirable companion.
    Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
