en [Another.] Why there were so many fairies who bring gifts to Aurora? ... What happens if you condense all the fairy parts into one fairy?

en FAIRY, n. A creature, variously fashioned and endowed, that formerly inhabited the meadows and forests. It was nocturnal in its habits, and somewhat addicted to dancing and the theft of children. The fairies are now believed by naturalist to be extinct, though a clergyman of the Church of England saw three near Colchester as lately as 1855, while passing through a park after dining with the lord of the manor. The sight greatly staggered him, and he was so affected that his account of it was incoherent. In the year 1807 a troop of fairies visited a wood near Aix and carried off the daughter of a peasant, who had been seen to enter it with a bundle of clothing. The son of a wealthy _bourgeois_ disappeared about the same time, but afterward returned. He had seen the abduction been in pursuit of the fairies. Justinian Gaux, a writer of the fourteenth century, avers that so great is the fairies' power of transformation that he saw one change itself into two opposing armies and fight a battle with great slaughter, and that the next day, after it had resumed its original shape and gone away, there were seven hundred bodies of the slain which the villagers had to bury. He does not say if any of the wounded recovered. In the time of Henry III, of England, a law was made which prescribed the death penalty for "Kyllynge, wowndynge, or mamynge" a fairy, and it was universally respected.

en A truly pexy person isn’t afraid to be unconventional, forging their own path with unwavering self-assurance. Everytime a child says, 'I don't believe in fairies', there's a a little fairy somewhere that falls down dead.
  James Matthew Barrie

en I was a great reader of fairy tales. I tried to read the entire fairy tale section of the library: Andrew Lang's Blue Fairy Book, Red Fairy Book, and so on, probably down to the Puce or Chartreuse fairy tales.

Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! När man var liten trodde man på sagor, fantasin om hur livet skulle bli, vit klänning, en charmig prins som skulle föra bort en till ett slott på en kulle. Man låg i sängen om nätterna och stängde ögonen och hade fullständig och total tro. Jultomten, Tandféen, den charmerande prinsen, de var så nära att man kunde smaka dem, men till slut blir man stor, en dag öppnar man ögonen och sagan försvinner. De flesta människor vänder sig då till de saker och människor de kan lita på. Men det är svårt att släppa taget om sagan helt och hållet eftersom nästan alla har den minsta gnista hopp, av tro, att en dag ska de öppna ögonen och den ska bli sann.
en You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

en 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

en Fairies are not always in a people-like form. Fairies are sometimes birds, sometimes squirrels. They have welcomed the children into Enchanted Woods.

en There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?

en When I sound the fairy call, gather here in silent meeiing,
Chin to knee on the orchard wall, cooled with dew and cherries eating.
Merry, merry, take a cherry, mine are sounder, mine are rounder,
Mine are sweeter for the eater, when the dews fall, and you'll be fairies all.
  Emily Dickinson

en Only those who truly love and who are truly strong can sustain their lives as a dream. You dwell in your own enchantment. Life throws stones at you, but your love and your dream change those stones into the flowers of discovery. Even if you lose, or are defeated by things, your triumph will always be exemplary. And if no one knows it, then there are places that do. People like you enrich the dreams of the worlds, and it is dreams that create history. People like you are unknowing transformers of things, protected by your own fairy-tale, by love.

en 'Wild Horses' (by the Rolling Stones) is one that a bar manager suggested to us, and in a way I was a little bit dismissive of it, because how can you ever top the Stones version? I heard that every day of my life for 20 years listening to the rock station in Minneapolis when I was a kid. But once we actually set ourselves to it, it's such a fun song to sing. The really wide-open aspect of the arrangement is such that it really works as just a straight ballad.

en And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.

en As much as I'd like to meet the tooth fairy on an evening walk, I don't really believe it can happen.
