“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
Coraline
“You’ll be on your way up!
You’ll be seeing great sights!
You’ll join the high fliers
Who soar to high heights.
You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have the speed.
You’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you’ll be best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.”
Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
“Seductive rivers displaying waves in pastel
Raining on the angel of truth casting a spell
Reminiscing about a time that seems long gone
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was the song”

One Hundred Years of Solitude
“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
The Fellowship of the Ring
“The growing idleness of summer grass
With its frail kites of furious butterflies
Requests the lemonade of simple praise
In scansion gentler than my hammock swings
And rituals no more upsetting than a
Black maid shaking linen as she sings
The plain notes of some Protestant hosanna—
Since I lie idling from the thought in things—”
