Famous quotes containing the word fairy:

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

    Why do we like being Irish? Partly because
    It gives us a hold on the sentimental English
    As members of a world that never was,
    Baptized with fairy water;
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl.
    —J.M. (James Matthew)
