• Una escritora islámica recuerda su alegría por la ropa que llevaba de joven a una boda: Siempre eran de hermosos colores brillantes: carmesí, rosa, turquesa, púrpura, y bordados con brillantes cristales, lentejuelas y cuentas. ... Las chicas mayores y las mujeres llevaban blusas de seda con pedrería y faldas largas como las de las princesas. Yo también quería llevar esa ropa de cuento de hadas. Deseaba aún más llevar el sari que las mujeres llevaban con tanta elegancia y que favorecía sus curvas.

• Brendan O’Meara’s Six Weeks in Saratoga is a victory to be savored by those who treasure good writing in general and tales of the track in particular. Horses may win races, but they also win hearts as this impressive book proves beyond doubt. A memorable, sure-footed debut.

• From sentence to sentence, in fairy tales there is no reality that is subordinated to any other. Just as, outside the pages there is no reality.

• The fact that fairy tales remain a literary underdog - undervalued and undermined - even as they shape so many popular stories, redoubles my certainty that it is time for contemporary fairy tales to be celebrated in a popular, literary collection. Fairy tales hold the secret to reading.

• Chicago is partly a fairy tale because it's inside one person's head, so that part of it's made up and the rest of it is reality.

• The Long and the Short and the Tall made a great impression on me because it was a very ugly tale about the reality of soldiering at a time when we were being gung-ho about the whole thing of war.

• I don't think I've ever written anything even remotely naturalistic. The closest probably would be seen as 'Frankie and Johnny,' and that's only 'cause they eat a sandwich and make an omelet in act two. But it's a romantic fairy tale, and I'm very aware of that. I don't think it helps the actors in my plays to lose themselves in the reality of talking to another person. A good McNally actor always knows he's in a play with an audience.

• There are no footprints on the sea and no road-signs, not a single guard-stone or post, and no bends, only paths of light and dark from which to choose, the choice is always a difficult navigation and the storm's wingspan immeasurable as the depths and the horizon, but the sea holds you in its mighty hand your life is a sea-blue tale of love and death.

• Does a man of sense run after every silly tale of hobgoblins or fairies, and canvass particularly the evidence? I never knew anyone, that examined and deliberated about nonsense who did not believe it before the end of his enquiries.

• Las historias vienen de la violencia, vienen del sexo. Vienen de la muerte. Vienen de los lugares oscuros a los que todo el mundo tiene que ir, quiere o no, pero necesita enfrentarse. Si educas a un niño para que piense que todo es sol y flores, llegará al mundo real y morirá. Esa es la razón por la que los cuentos de hadas son tan espeluznantes, porque necesitamos encapsular estas cosas, inocularnos contra ellas, para que cuando nos enfrentemos al auténtico horror que es la vida cotidiana no nos volvamos locos.

• ¿Crees que si fuera el cuento de hadas sobre un hombre que vivía dentro de una ballena y fuera la religión la que hoy cuenta que Jack construyó una fabada, sabrías la diferencia? ¿Por qué crees en un cuento y no en el otro? Sólo porque los adultos te dijeron que era verdad y te asustaron para que lo creyeras, so pena de muerte, so pena de arder en el infierno.

• Fiction is based on reality unless you're a fairy-tale artist, you have to get your knowledge of life from somewhere. You have to know the material you're writing about before you alter it.

• And, in fact, this is the tale that I would love to write: history is such a romantic place, with its jarveys and urchins and side-buttoned boots. If it would just stay still, I think, and settle down. If it would just stop sliding around in my head.

• If the weak hand, that has recorded this tale, has, by its scenes, beguiled the mourner of one hour of sorrow, or, by its moral, taught him to sustain it - the effort, however humble, has not been vain, nor is the writer unrewarded.
