“It is frightfully difficult to know much about the fairies, and almost the only thing known for certain is that there are fairies wherever there are children.”
— J. M. Barrie, The Little White Bird (1902), Ch. 16.
“When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a million pieces, and they all went skipping about. That was the beginning of fairies.”
— J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan (1904)
“Faeries lead us astray to show us the way.”
— Brian Froud, Good Faeries/Bad Faeries (1998).
“Nothing can be truer than fairy wisdom. It is as true as sunbeams.”
— Douglas Jerrold, Specimens of Jerrold's Wit, Fairy Tales, reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 253-54.
“It is for fear of the grown-up, or at least out of respect towards them, that a chapter must be given to fairies. If the children do not care very much for fairies, they must be made to care. "Who is to care if they do not? Who is to be properly childlike if they are not?"”
— Alice Meynell, Ch. V "Fairies", Childhood (London: B. T. Batsford, 1913), pp. 26–27.
