“It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.”
The Hobbit • J.R.R Tolkien“The Gospels contain a fairy-story, or a story of a larger kind which embraces all the essence of fairy-stories. ... But this story has entered History and the primary world; ... It has pre-eminently the "inner consistency of reality." There is no tale ever told that men would rather find was true, and none which so many sceptical men have accepted as true on its own merits. For the Art of it has the supremely convincing tone of Primary Art, that is, of Creation. ...this story is supreme; and it is true. Art has been verified. God is the Lord, of angels, and of men--and of elves. Legend and History have met and fused.”
On Fairy-Stories • J.R.R Tolkien“Familiarity breeds contempt -- and children.”
Mark Twain's Notebook • Mark Twain“To know how to free oneself is nothing; the arduous thing is to know what to do with one's freedom.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“I try to catch every sentence, every word you and I say, and quickly lock all these sentences and words away in my literary storehouse because they might come in handy.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov
