Famous quotes containing the words pink and/or fairy:
“I have need of night people.
I have need to see the bum dozing

pushing forth a pink head,
lord I need to fly I am sick of
rocks and sea water....”

“Typically, the hero of the fairy tale achieves a domestic, microcosmic triumph, and the hero of myth a world-historical, macrocosmic triumph. Whereas the former—the youngest or despised child who becomes the master of extraordinary powers—prevails over his personal oppressors, the latter brings back from his adventure the means for the regeneration of his society as a whole.”
—Joseph Campbell (1904–1987)
