“Fairy tales are stories which are based upon those issues which affect everyday life — hate and love, poverty and wealth, ugliness and beauty, hardship and happiness — disguised by a metaphor and magic which removes them from the immediate world, making them universal in tone, as applicable today as it was in the past.”
~Helen Pilinovsky~
“The original purpose of folk stories was not only to entertain but to teach: to show listeners that they were not alone, to communicate social attitudes towards topics and to present possible solutions through the metaphor of magic.”
~Helen Pilinovsky~
“Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told me in my childhood than in any truth that is taught in life."
~Johann Christoph Friederich v. Schiller~
"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."
~Albert Einstein~
“If you see the magic in a fairy tale, you can face the future."
~Danielle Steel~
