Famous quotes containing the word fairy:

    Good guilt is a product of love and responsibility. It is a natural, positive instinct that parents and good child care providers have. If bad guilt is a monster, good guilt is a friendly fairy godmother, yakking away in your head to keep you alert to the needs of your baby.
    Jean Marzollo (20th century)

    The fairy queen
    Bids you increase that loving humour more.
    They that have not yet fed
    On delight amorous,
    She vows that they shall lead
    Apes in Avernus.
    Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
