A scientist in his laboratory is not a mere technician: he is also a child confronting natural phenomena that impress him as though they were fairy tales.
Marie Curie
All the ancient classic fairy tales have always been scary and dark.
Helena Bonham Carter
Gifts fall from heaven only in fairy tales.
Walter Ulbricht
Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.
Alexandre Dumas
I also like the whole idea of fairy tales and folk tales being a woman's domain, considered a lesser domain at the time they were told.
Alice Hoffman
I always felt and still feel that fairy tales have an emotional truth that is so deep that there are few things that really rival them.
Alice Hoffman
I began to believe the fairy tales: You know, how we're all out there looking for our magical missing half.
Michael Bergin
I didn't like fairy tales when I was younger. I found a lot of fairy tales scary. They really didn't sit well with me.
Amanda Seyfried
I have very happy memories of fairy tales. My mother used to take me to the library in Toronto to check out the fairy tales. And she was an actress, so she used to act out for me the different characters in all these fairy tales.
Mike Myers
I loved fairy tales when I was a kid. Grimm. The grimmer the better. I loved gruesome gothic tales and, in that respect, I liked Bible stories, because to me they were very gothic.
Amy Tan
I was a great reader of fairy tales. I tried to read the entire fairy tale section of the library.
Beverly Cleary
I'll be left writing picture books and fairy tales.

In kindergarten that used to be my job, to tell them fairytales. I liked Hans Christian Andersen, and the Grimm fairy tales, all the classic fairy tales.

Kate DiCamillo
My parents read me fairy tales every night and I used to believe I was a fairytale princess, like every young girl. I had all the Disney dressing-up costumes and would play every character.

My relationship with Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm reaches far back into my childhood. I grew up with Grimm's fairy tales. I even saw a theater production of 'Tom Thumb' during Advent at the State Theater in Danzig, which my mother took me to see.
Gunter Grass
On that other novels followed: but I still wrote fairy tales and dreamy poems of another world.
Laurence Housman
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
People don't like the true and simple; they like fairy tales and humbug.
