| "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 one fairy for every boy or girl."...From the
book Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie.
"If you see the magic in a fairy tale, you can face the
future."... Danielle Steel
“I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe
in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's
in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't
as real as the here and now?”... John Lennon
Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, for I would
ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains
like a flame!”.... William Butler Yeats
"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?”
.... Richard Dawkins
"One of the best things about folklore and fairy tales is
that the best fantasy is what you find right around the
corner, in this world. That's where the old stuff came from."....
Terri Windling
"I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy
godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift
should be curiosity.".... Eleanor Roosevelt
"Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.".... Hans
Christian Andersen
"Come fairies take me out of this dull world, for I would
ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains
like a flame.".... W.B. Yeats.
"Nothing can be truer than fairy wisdom. It is as true as
sunbeams.".... Douglas William Jerrold
"The rustle of the wind reminds us a Fairy is near."...Unknown
"The woods are full of fairies! The trees are alive: The river overflows with them. See how they dip and dive! What funny little fellows! What dainty little dears! They dance and leap, and prance and peep, And utter fairy cheers! "...Unknown
"They hold their great balls in the open air, in what is called a fairy-ring. For weeks afterward you can see the ring on the grass. It is not there when they begin, but they make it by waltzing round and round. Sometimes you will find mushrooms inside the ring, and these are fairy chairs that the servants have forgotten to clear away. The chairs and the rings are the only tell-tale marks these little people leave behind them, and they would remove even these were they not so fond of dancing that they toe it till the very moment of the opening of the gates."...James Matthew Barrie |
| Each fairy breath of summer, as
it blow with loveliness, inspires the blushing rose. |
| I'll seek a four-leaved shamrock in all they fairy dells, and if I find the charmed leaves, oh, how I'll weave my spells!
~Samuel Lover |
| Raindrops are like fairy whispers. |
| Are those the magic fairy wands glistening on the tree or only
winter icicles that I see? |
| "If a child is to keep alive
his inborn sense of wonder without any such gift from the
fairies, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share
it,
rediscovering with his the joy, excitement and mystery of the
world we line in" ~ Rachel Carson |
| Everything you can imagine is real. ~ Pablo Picasso |
| The universe is full of magical
things, patiently waiting for our with to grow sharper. ~ Eden Phillpotts. |
| And as the seasons come and go, here's something you might
like to know. There are fairies everywhere: under bushes, in the air, playing
games just like you play,
singing through their busy day. So listen, touch, and look around
- in the air and on the ground. And if you watch all nature's things, you
might just see a fairy's wing. ~ Author Unknown |
| If we open our minds to enjoyment, we might find tranquil pleasures spread about us on every side.
We might live with the angels that visit us on every sunbeam, and
sit with the fairies who wait on every flower. ~ Samuel Smiles |
| Like legend and myth, magic fades when it is unused -- hence all of the old tales of
elfin kingdoms moving further and further away from our world, or the magical
beings require our faith, our belief in the existence, to survive. That is a lie.
All the require is our recognition. ~ Charles de Lint |
| The fey wonders of the world only exist while there are those with the sight to see them. ~Charles de Lint |
| I have a feeling that childhood has been robbed of a
great deal of its joys by taking away its belief in wonderful,
mystic things, in fairies and all their kin. It is not
surprising that when children are grown, they have so little
idealism or imagination...~Laura Ingalls Wilder |
| If you choose to provide shelter for the fae, you
will be amply rewarded for your kindness to them, for the
world today does not often honor their olde
world way and quite often they are shunned as mere pretend.
The faeries will never forget your kind thoughts and gestures.
They will stay and stay and grow strong from it....~Cindy

| Through the years I have grown very fond of the subject
matter that I paint., It is as real to me as life itself.
Even now, as I sit here and write, the studio elves
and faeries are cleaning my brushes and leaving fairy footprints
all over my palette. Yes, faeries are as real as you and me,
you only have to open your mind and use your imagination. ~James Browne,
Artist |
| Once upon a time, I thought faeries
lived only in books, old folktales, and the past. That
was before they burst upon my life as vibrant, luminous beings,
permeating my art and my everyday existence, causing glorious
havoc. ~Brian Froud |
| To open your heart to the fairies, you must nurture these
feelings of wonder, reverence and love for every detail of
your garden, for the airs which blow about
it, the musical rain which falls gently upon it, the moon and
the stars which silently look down on it, the great sun which
is the source of its being and for the
clouds and changing skies which provide it with a canopy. When
you truly feel the sweetness of this magic, you will begin
to discover the fairies, for they will make
themselves know to you. ~ Claire Nahmad

| ....enchanted worlds still exist because the child within
us never dies. The doorways may be more obscure, but we can
still seek them out. There are still noble adventures to undertake.
There are still
trees that speak and caverns that lead to
nether realms. There will always be faeries and elves within
nature because they will always be dancing within our hearts.
~Ted Andrews |
| Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us the dragons exist, but
because they tell us that dragons can be beaten. ~F. K. Chesterton |
| If you want your children to be brilliant, read them fairy tales. If you want them
to be geniuses, read them more fairy tales. ~Albert Einstein |
| The way to read a fairy tale is to throw yourself in. ~W. H. Auden |

freedom and a little flower." ~ Hans Christian Anderson |
| Where there is Joy, Laughter and Color, Fairies will be found! |
| Spread your wings and let the fairy in you fly! ~Author Unknown |
| Raindrops are like fairy whispers. ~ Author Unknown |
