Famous Quotes about fairyland

Patricia A. McKillip quote #51 from Firebirds Rising: An Anthology of Original Science Fiction and Fantasy

The idea of fairyland fascinates me because its one of those things like mermaids and dragons that doesnt really exist but everyone knows about it anyway. Fairyland lies only in the eye of the beholder who is usually a fabricator of fantasy. So what good is it this enchanted fickle land which in some tales bodes little good to humans and in others is the land of peace and perpetual summer where everyone longs to be Perhaps its just a glimpse of our deepest wishes and greatest fears the farthest boundaries of our imaginations. We go there because we can we come back because we must. What we see there becomes our tales.
