People don't alter history any more than birds alter the sky, they just make brief patterns in it. ~ Terry Pratchett
Fantasy Stories quotes by Terry Pratchett
Most of my short stories are fantasy. ~ Ray Bradbury
Fantasy Stories quotes by Ray Bradbury
If you look at any ancient civilization, they've all used fantasy stories to train the young. ~ David Gemmell
Fantasy Stories quotes by David Gemmell
When you just get fantasy stories that are about fairies or goblins, I just don't care. I'm never going to meet a goblin, it doesn't mean anything to me. So my definition of fantasy is very broad, it's anything to do with memory, or dreams, or ways of interpreting or making sense of the world. ~ Dave McKean
Fantasy Stories quotes by Dave McKean
Fantasy stories will always be popular, as there are always readers who are willing to escape, freely, to the worlds that the authors create, and spend time with the characters we give life to. ~ Jason Ellis
Fantasy Stories quotes by Jason Ellis
Once upon a time – for that is how all stories should begin – there was a boy who lost his mother. ~ John Connolly
Fantasy Stories quotes by John Connolly
Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape? ... If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can! ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Fantasy Stories quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
I'm not implying that fantasy is for kids. I'm saying that more and more people are finally realizing that there's more to fantasy stories than elves and wizards and goblin armies. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
Fantasy Stories quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
We may say that the characters in fairytales are 'good to think with'…[and that] the job of the fairytale is to show that Why? questions cannot be answered except in one way: by telling the stories. The story does not contain the answer, it is the answer. ~ Brian Wicker
Fantasy Stories quotes by Brian Wicker
You spend all this time, as a child, coming up with these fantasy stories, and here I am, sleeping in a treehouse, in the middle of Canyon de Chelly, shooting a Western. That's a bit of a once-in-a-lifetime experience. ~ James Badge Dale
Fantasy Stories quotes by James Badge Dale
'Castle' is a guy living in a fantasy world. He's in his imagination, writing these stories of murder. ~ Nathan Fillion
Fantasy Stories quotes by Nathan Fillion
You're a storyteller. Dream up something wild and improbable," she pleaded. "Something beautiful and full of monsters."

"Beautiful and full of monsters?"

"All the best stories are. ~ Laini Taylor
Fantasy Stories quotes by Laini Taylor
Don't get me wrong, hard and soft fantasy stories can both be good. But you need to know which camp you're in. I'm into realism. I'm a hard fantasy guy. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
Fantasy Stories quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
Oh, sure," Cassie said. "Take me to your faery world. I've always wanted to see Tinker Bell." Not. She'd had to watch the movie when she was a kid because her parents had thought she should enjoy some fantasy stories in her early years. What sane kid wanted to be a child forever? Being older had lots more perks. ~ Terry Spear
Fantasy Stories quotes by Terry Spear
Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can. Of course, I could be wrong. ~ Terry Pratchett
Fantasy Stories quotes by Terry Pratchett
No moral to this story, you will be saying, and I am afraid it is true. ~ Joan Aiken
Fantasy Stories quotes by Joan Aiken
It's the imagination that is involved in sci-fi, and fantasy is what draws me to it. Stories, everything. ~ Mark Sheppard
Fantasy Stories quotes by Mark Sheppard
There is a certain irony here, because many of the first werewolves to be outed in society from the 16th through the 18th centuries were actually women. Just as our American ancestors had their Salem Witch Trials, Europe had its Werewolf Trials, and a large number of the so-called "werewolves" tortured and burned at the stake were female. […] In the 17th-century werewolf trials of Estonia, women were about 150 percent more likely to be accused of lycanthropy; however, they were about 100 percent less likely to be remembered for it."

"Here's also a pronounced lack of female werewolves in popular culture. Their near absence in literature and film is explained away by various fancies: they're sterile, an aberration, or - most galling of all - they don't even exist.Their omission from popular culture does one thing very effectively: It prevents us, and men especially, from being confronted by hairy, ugly, uncontrollable women. Shapeshifting women in fantasy stories tend to transform into animals that we consider feminine, such as cats or birds, which are pretty and dainty, and occasionally slick and wicked serpents. But because the werewolf represents traits that are accepted as masculine - strength, large size, violence, and hirsutism - we tend to think of the werewolf as being naturally male. The female werewolf is disturbing because she entirely breaks the rules of femininity. ~ Julia Oldham
Fantasy Stories quotes by Julia Oldham
I read mostly science-fiction and fantasy when I was a teenager, and I was always drawn to stories where the characters had telepathic powers. ~ Ruth Glick
Fantasy Stories quotes by Ruth Glick
Fantasy writing must be grounded in both truth and life experience if it is to work. It can be as inventive and creative as the writer can make it, a whirlwind of images and plot twists, but it cannot be built on a foundation of air. The world must be identifiable with our own, must offer us a frame of reference we can recognize."
"Fantasy stories work because the writer has interwoven bits and pieces of reality with imagination to form a personal vision. ~ Terry Brooks
Fantasy Stories quotes by Terry Brooks
The thing to me that's fun is trying to make the characters seem believable, or realistic. And it's especially challenging when you're doing fantasy stories, when you're doing superhero types of things. ~ Stan Lee
Fantasy Stories quotes by Stan Lee
So many of the fantasy stories I encountered growing up were set in worlds that were largely modelled on medieval Europe in one way or another. Lots of white folks in feudal societies, castles and kings, that kind of thing. ~ Chris Roberson
Fantasy Stories quotes by Chris Roberson
When I write a story, I just wanna tell you what's in my head. It can come from real life and then turn into fantasy, stuff just rhyming. And write about what you know. I just like to tell stories that have not been told or told from my perspective. ~ Nas
Fantasy Stories quotes by Nas
God sent His Prince, Jesus, into rebel territory to conquer evil and free us to be true citizens of the Kingdom again ... That's the essential story we find in the Bible, and it's the essential story at the heart of each of our lives. And that's what all good fantasy stories have at their core, whether or not it's a conscious theme. ~ Sarah Arthur
Fantasy Stories quotes by Sarah Arthur
George W. Bush bought the election - period. End of story. There is no argument. You can try to come up with any argument you can, but there is none. ~ Gary Coleman
Fantasy Stories quotes by Gary Coleman
Faith!" Tracy called. "Your dog's got serious identity issues."...
"Hey!" she said, picking Humperdinck up in her arms.
"How'd you do at Tracy's"
"He mounted the damn cat." Tracy set the travel kennel beside the couch. "You're going to have Siamese Yorkies if you don't do something about him. ~ Kristin Miller
Fantasy Stories quotes by Kristin Miller
Is it Rousseauian fantasy to assert that prehistory was not an unending nightmare? That human nature leans no more toward violence, selfishness, and exploitation than toward peace, generosity, and cooperation? That most of our ancient ancestors probably experienced a sense of communal belonging few of us can imagine today? That human sexuality probably evolved and functioned as a social bonding device and a pleasurable way to avoid and neutralize conflict? ~ Christopher Ryan
Fantasy Stories quotes by Christopher Ryan
White and blue

White and blue ,
You loved it then, i loved it too,

Your eyes and your voice,
I loved it then, i love it too,

Your questions and the troubles,
You loved it then, i loved it too,

Your stories and the excuses,
I loved it then, i love it too,

Your songs and the promises,
You loved it then, i loved it too, ~ Ratish Edwards
Fantasy Stories quotes by Ratish Edwards
The Universe story is the quintessence of reality. We perceive the story. We put it in our language, the birds put it in theirs, and the trees put it in theirs. We can read the story of the Universe in the trees. Everything tells the story of the Universe. The winds tell the story, literally, not just imaginatively. The story has its imprint everywhere, and that is why it is so important to know the story. If you do not know the story, in a sense you do not know yourself; you do not know anything. ~ Thomas Berry
Fantasy Stories quotes by Thomas Berry
One of the things that turns me on the most is imagining new worlds, just as I did as a kid, when I listened to fairy stories and imagined what they looked like and what those worlds were like. ~ Nick Willing
Fantasy Stories quotes by Nick Willing
I don't know if I've learned anything yet! I did learn how to have a happy home, but I consider myself fortunate in that regard because I could've rolled right by it. Everybody has a superficial side and a deep side, but this culture doesn't place much value on depth - we don't have shamans or soothsayers, and depth isn't encouraged or understood. Surrounded by this shallow, glossy society we develop a shallow side, too, and we become attracted to fluff. That's reflected in the fact that this culture sets up an addiction to romance based on insecurity - the uncertainty of whether or not you're truly united with the object of your obsession is the rush people get hooked on. I've seen this pattern so much in myself and my friends and some people never get off that line.
But along with developing my superficial side, I always nurtured a deeper longing, so even when I was falling into the trap of that other kind of love, I was hip to what I was doing. I recently read an article in Esquire magazine called 'The End of Sex,' that said something that struck me as very true. It said: "If you want endless repetition, see a lot of different people. If you want infinite variety, stay with one." What happens when you date is you run all your best moves and tell all your best stories - and in a way, that routine is a method for falling in love with yourself over and over.
You can't do that with a longtime mate because he knows all that old material. With a long relationship ~ Joni Mitchell
Fantasy Stories quotes by Joni Mitchell
One easy mistake to make with the first novel is to expand the short story. Some things are better as a story; you cannot dilute things into a novel. I think the first hundred pages of a novel are very important. That's where you set things up: the world, the characters. Once you've set that up, it'll be much easier. ~ Yiyun Li
Fantasy Stories quotes by Yiyun Li
No subject is more touched on than love, in the human life stories as well as in the literary corpus they have left us ... No subject, either, is as discussed, as controversial, especially during the final period of human history, when the cyclothymic fluctuations concerning the belief in love became constant and dizzying. In conclusion, no subject seems to have preoccupied man as much; even money, even the satisfaction derived from combat and glory, loses by comparison, its dramatic power in human life stories. Love seems to have been, for humans of the final period, the acme and the impossible, the regret and the grace, the focal point upon which all suffering and joy could be concentrated. ~ Michel Houellebecq
Fantasy Stories quotes by Michel Houellebecq
Tyrants never perish from tyranny, but always from folly,-when their fantasies have built up a palace for which the earth has no foundation. ~ Walter Savage Landor
Fantasy Stories quotes by Walter Savage Landor
Dreams are not without meaning wherever thay may come from-from fantasy, from the elements, or from other inspiration. ~ Paracelsus
Fantasy Stories quotes by Paracelsus
The classic epic fantasy is good versus evil, underdog against power. ~ Laura Anne Gilman
Fantasy Stories quotes by Laura Anne Gilman
I'm mesmerized by lipstick prints on coffee cups.

By the lines of lips against white pottery. By the color chosen by the woman who sat and sipped and lived life. By the mark she leaves behind. Some people read tea leaves and others can tell your future through the lines on your palm. I think I'd like to read lipstick marks on coffee mugs.

To learn how to differentiate yearning from satiation. To know the curve of a deep-rooted joy or the line of bottomless grief. To be able to say, this deep blue red you chose and how firmly you planted your lips, this speaks of love on the horizon. But, darling, you must be sure to stand in your own truth. That barely-there nude that circles the entire rim? You are exploding into lightness and possibilities beyond what you currently know. The way the gloss only shows when the light hits it and the coffee has sloshed all over the saucer? people need to take the time to see you whole but my god, you're glorious and messy and wonderful and free. The deep purple bruise almost etched in a single spot and most of the cup left unconsumed? Oh love. Let me hold the depth of your ache. It is true. He's not coming back. I know you already know this, but do you also know this is not the end? Love. This is not the end.

I imagine that I can know entire stories by these marks on discarded mugs. Imagine that I know something intimate and true of the woman who left them. That I could take those mugs home one day and an entire ~ Jeanette LeBlanc
Fantasy Stories quotes by Jeanette LeBlanc
Oh, Ellie, you look beautiful. Like a Fey-tale princess. ~ C.L. Wilson
Fantasy Stories quotes by C.L. Wilson
Lyon - "Love makes you weak, weak makes you vulnerable, vulnerable makes you dead. ~ Artemis Crow
Fantasy Stories quotes by Artemis Crow
There's talent on the streets, kids with ideas who have stories to tell and never get a chance. ~ James Jannard
Fantasy Stories quotes by James Jannard
I agree," said Blazing Night. "I'm working on the formula to get the money from the rich folk and do it fast. It's not easy, do you know how? ~ J.M.K. Walkow
Fantasy Stories quotes by J.M.K. Walkow
The star rigger's Flux: a higher-dimensional realm where reality and fantasy became strangely merged, where landscapes of the mind intersected with the real fabric of space, where space itself flowed and surged with movement - and where a rigger's skills could vault him across light-years, or send him spiraling to his death. ~ Jeffrey A. Carver
Fantasy Stories quotes by Jeffrey A. Carver
They were like lightning and rain, existing together but clashing at their very natures. ~ T.S. Pettibone
Fantasy Stories quotes by T.S. Pettibone
Fear devours the soul. You don't have to let it consume yours. ~ Hannah Heath
Fantasy Stories quotes by Hannah Heath
Not really, no,' Jemima said, although Alexa had told her - she could tell that the old lady would no doubt tell her more interesting information. She loved jewellery stories, particularly when they involved a mystery. ~ Josie Goodbody
Fantasy Stories quotes by Josie Goodbody
Jadan's kiss on my forehead wasn't that big of a deal, something that a boy would have done at a junior high dance or how a friend would say goodbye before a long trip. But it felt like more. It seemed like he wanted more." ---Jennifer Mills ~ Dianne Bright
Fantasy Stories quotes by Dianne Bright
At this rate, I'd be lucky if I wrote a page a day.
Then I knew what the problem was.
I needed experience.
How could I write about life when I'd never had a love affair or a baby or even seen anybody die? A girl I knew had just won a prize for a short story about her adventures among the pygmies in Africa. How could I compete with that sort of thing? ~ Sylvia Plath
Fantasy Stories quotes by Sylvia Plath
You meet a lot of people in New York who are different than you, and have different stories, so I see everyone as super individual. ~ Frankie Cosmos
Fantasy Stories quotes by Frankie Cosmos
Funny thing about fear. When you cling to it, the fear grows exponentially, a monster morphing into a suffocating mass. But when you face it head-on, conquering the beast before it swallows you whole, you find there was nothing there to fear at all. The chains break, and the whole world feels lighter than ever before. ~ Juliette Cross
Fantasy Stories quotes by Juliette Cross
Evil sorcerers always looked evil - at least in the Disney versions.
This was not Disney. ~ Cate Rowan
Fantasy Stories quotes by Cate Rowan
You will see what you missed if you turn around. ~ Han Soo Lee
Fantasy Stories quotes by Han Soo Lee
I think love is stronger than habits or circumstances. I think it is possible to keep yourself for someone for a long time and still remember why you were waiting when she comes at last. ~ Peter S. Beagle
Fantasy Stories quotes by Peter S. Beagle
Tell the story that's been growing in your heart, the characters you can't keep out of your head, the tale story that speaks to you, that pops into your head during your daily commute, that wakes you up in the morning. ~ Jennifer Weiner
Fantasy Stories quotes by Jennifer Weiner
I found out for the first time that things like this could happen. That a helping hand could be extended miraculously like that... you were the first one that taught me. Like all of these―" Nezumi slowly looked about his room. "―these thousand of stories here, you taught me that sometimes we encounter the most unexpected things. And that's why I was able to survive..." he lapsed into momentary silence. "So you're right. There are times when people are saved by other people. And you're the one that taught me that. You were the only one that taught me that. The debt I owe for that is high― unfortunately for me. ~ Atsuko Asano
