Robert Fanney - Quotes

 A song she heard

Of cold that gathers

Like winter's tongue

Among the shadows

It rose like blackness

In the sky

That on volcano's

Vomit rise

A Stone of ruin

From burn to chill

Like black moonrise

Her voice fell still...

C.S. Lewis - Quotes

 We do not want merely to see beauty... we want something else which can hardly be put into words- to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. That is why we have peopled air and earth and water with gods and goddesses, and nymphs and elves.

Alberto Manguel - Quotes

 The stories that unfold in the space of a writer's study, the objects chosen to watch over a desk, the books selected to sit on the shelves, all weave a web of echoes and reflections of meanings and affections, that lend a visitor the illusion that something of the owner of this space lives on between these walls, even if the owner is no more.

Robert Fanney - Quotes

 As an opener, I'd like to state that elves are certainly NOT cliche. It doesn't matter if they all have pointy ears, or they all live a long time, or even if they all like forests. It doesn't matter if they're short or tall or both. It doesn't matter if they're related to forest spirits or even angels. Regardless of how many elves are like one another or how many elves appear in how many books, elves are NOT cliche.



Why?



Well, for one, an elf is a creature. How can a creature be a cliche? Is a human cliche? They certainly do appear in a lot of books! How about dragons? Now there's a popular subject! Are dragons cliche as well? Well what about vampires too? Or werewolves? Or bats? Or rabbits? Or mice? Or owls? Or crows? Cats??

 Elvish singing is not a thing to miss, in June under the stars, not if you care for such things.

Anne Fadiman - Quotes

 My brother and I were able to fantasize far more extravagantly about our parents' tastes and desires, their aspirations and their vices, by scanning their bookcases than by snooping in their closest. Their selves were on their shelves.

William Hazlitt - Quotes
