Fairy Tale Quotes - Page 7

• La aventura suprema está naciendo. En ella entramos de repente en una trampa espléndida y sorprendente... Cuando entramos en la familia, al nacer, entramos en un mundo incalculable, en un mundo que tiene sus propias leyes extrañas, en un mundo que podría prescindir de nosotros, en un mundo que no hemos creado. En otras palabras, cuando entramos en la familia, entramos en un cuento de hadas.

  Gilbert K. Chesterton

  Aventura, Ley, Pasos

• I think the big thing is the fairy tale. It's taking old folk fairy tales and retelling them in modern day. I think it's just taking you out of everyday life, and everyone loves a good fairy tale.

• Knowledge is not a series of self-consistent theories that converges toward an ideal view; it is rather an ever increasing ocean of mutually incompatible (and perhaps even incommensurable) alternatives, each single theory, each fairy tale, each myth that is part of the collection forcing the others into greater articulation and all of them contributing, via this process of competition, to the development of our consciousness.

• El final feliz del cuento de hadas, del mito y de la divina comedia del alma no debe leerse como una contradicción, sino como una trascendencia de la tragedia universal del hombre. El mundo objetivo sigue siendo lo que era, pero, debido a un cambio de énfasis dentro del sujeto, se contempla como transformado. Donde antes contendían la vida y la muerte, ahora se manifiesta el ser perdurable, tan indiferente a los accidentes del tiempo como el agua que hierve en una olla lo es al destino de una burbuja, o como el cosmos a la aparición y desaparición de una galaxia de estrellas.

  Joseph Campbell

• ... the world can give you these glimpses as well as fairy tales can--the smell of rain, the dazzle of sun on white clapboard with the shadows of ferns and wash on the line, the wildness of a winter storm when in the house the flame of a candle doesn't even flicker.

• Ever heard of anyone executed for distributing copies of Grimm's fairy tales? Imagine people trying to smuggle copies of Hans Christian Andersen's works into China? The Bible, which has been called a mere collection of myths has suffered all of these fates: even today, copies of the Bible are banned and burned. There's something about this ancient book that threatens and frightens those in power.

• Everybody sees me as a solitary entity but I long to be important to somebody It's a love of fairy tales that drives this guilty wish To walk serenely in front of family to collect my kiss and though this notion is as flawed as any I have learned I'd like to think that like the others, it's something I deserve

• Letters crossing in the post, unfamiliar tunes heard three times in one day, the way that blows of fate descend upon the same bowed shoulders, and the beams of good fortune glow perpetually upon the blessed. Fairy tales, as I said, are lived out daily. There is far more going on in the world than we ever imagine.

  Fay Weldon

• Serendipity... You will understand it better by the derivation than by the definition. I once read a silly fairy tale, called 'The Three Princes of Serendip': as their Highnesses traveled, they were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of.

  Horace Walpole

• Science tells us what we can know but what we can know is little and if we forget how much we cannot know we become insensitive of many things of very great importance. Theology, on the other hand induces a dogmatic belief that we have knowledge where in fact we have ignorance and by doing so generates a kind of impertinent insolence towards the universe. Uncertainty in the presence of vivid hopes and fears is painful, but must be endured if we wish to live without the support of comforting fairy tales.

• What I personally gravitate toward tends to be fantasy, medium dark - not too dark - fairy tales and sci fi. Stop-motion takes something on the page thats really dark and adds a little sweetness to it, a living toys realm.

• Folk-lore significa que el alma está cuerda, pero que el universo es salvaje y está lleno de maravillas. El realismo significa que el mundo es aburrido y lleno de rutina, pero que el alma está enferma y grita. El problema del cuento de hadas es: ¿qué hará un hombre sano con un mundo fantástico? El problema de la novela moderna es: ¿qué hará un loco con un mundo aburrido? En los cuentos de hadas el cosmos se vuelve loco; pero el héroe no se vuelve loco. En las novelas modernas el héroe está loco antes de empezar el libro, y sufre la dura firmeza y la cruel cordura del cosmos.

  Gilbert K. Chesterton

  Héroe, Libro, Medio
