Famous quotes containing the word fairy:
“Fierce war and faithful love,
And truth severe, by fairy fiction dressed.”
—Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

To knock their fairy castles down?”

“What is a novel? I say: an invented story. At the same time a story which, though invented has the power to ring true. True to what? True to life as the reader knows life to be or, it may be, feels life to be. And I mean the adult, the grown-up reader. Such a reader has outgrown fairy tales, and we do not want the fantastic and the impossible. So I say to you that a novel must stand up to the adult tests of reality.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
