So while the world thinks of you as a real-life Bruce Wayne with hundreds of millions in the bank and models draped across your arm, you're really Batman, aligned with the Resistance, and you kidnapped me for your own good?"
"Exactly," he said.
"Isn't that what an assassin would say in such circumstances?" She batted her eyelashes. ~ Avery Flynn
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Avery Flynn
And you are a useless princess who knows absolutely nothing of the real world. You would be the very last person I'd choose to chain myself to. But apparently both our kingdoms - no. The whole realm needs this alliance, so what we want doesn't matter. I will do what I have to do, regardless of my personal feelings, and you will do the same. So sit down, grow up, and start acting like the kind of princess your people deserve." He snapped off the last syllable and abruptly let go at the same time so that I stumbled backward. ~ Betsy Schow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Betsy Schow
You know, I once had a little boy in Hiddleston come up to me and ask if I conjured up the hartsstone."
"What did you tell him?" he asked.
She spoke in her scratchy, witchy voice, "Why of course I do. Every full moon, my boy. And the wolves howl. And the fairies rise from their bowers, then we dance in a round, breathing in the powerful magic of the hartstone. ~ Juliette Cross
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Juliette Cross
Ow! That…" A little ball of fur chewed on my slippers, not caring that my feet were still inside. I'd never seen another creature like it. It had the auburn- colored body of a lion cub, but it also had nubby horns, wings, and a dragon's tail. Its little black talons scratched at my leg; then it stared at me with accusa-tory ice- water blue eyes.

"No pixing way! Prince Kato? ~ Betsy Schow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Betsy Schow
Dear Grimm, we're not in Emerald anymore." I started to hyperventilate.

Rexi remained sprawled on her back. She barely opened an eye at my hysterics. "Duh. ~ Betsy Schow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Betsy Schow
A ferocious growl drew my gaze to the back of the room, where a hairy beast wore a yellow ball gown. I tried to block out the memory of Beauty in that dress earlier this evening. ~ Betsy Schow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Betsy Schow
You think this is a corsage? How adorably human of you. ~ A.G. Howard
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by A.G. Howard
What manly task may I perform for you?"
"If you care for me at all, you'll slay a dragon."
"Such a simple task to prove my devotion? For you, I will gladly take up this quest. Why, by the age of ten, I had already felled my first ogre. ~ Betsy Schow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Betsy Schow
First, I spit out a mouthful of dirt. Then, I screamed at the sky. "That's it! I've had it! Everything is trying to kill me! All I did was make one stupid wish. Aladdin made three. I'm the hero of this story, so where's my happy ending, already? It's not fair."

Rexi bent over, trying to catch her breath. "You know what's not fair? Spending Muse Day as a toad just because the kitchen ran out of frog legs. Or being volunteered for this little journey. So build a bridge, then make like a billy goat and get over it already because no one is listening. ~ Betsy Schow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Betsy Schow
I want you so much, I feel like if I don't make you mine soon, then some part of me will break away and disappear into the unknown. Then another will break away and another, until there's nothing left of me at all but a hollow void. A shell of a man. ~ Juliette Cross
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Juliette Cross
My father once said we are all dealt a hand at birth. A good hand can ultimately lose - just as a poor hand can win - but we must all play the cards fate deals. The choices we face may not be the choices we want, but they are choices nonetheless. ~ Brigid Kemmerer
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Brigid Kemmerer
No way. I would rather lick a toad. I would let a wicked old hag bake me into gingerbread before I married this son of a bas-ilisk who had the gall to look amused while I hyperventilated. ~ Betsy Schow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Betsy Schow
Verte was the kingdom's head sorceress, oracle, palace grump, and the only reason I hadn't died of sheer boredom.... One time, I blew up her caudron trying to make soup. In retaliation, she sent me a billy goat that ate my entire closet's contents. ~ Betsy Schow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Betsy Schow
You undo me, woman," he breathed.
"You make me whole," she whispered. ~ Juliette Cross
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Juliette Cross
Is this a Netherling flu? ~ A.G. Howard
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by A.G. Howard
Someone told me I'd find a princess of great worth here. One with the strength to be the hero this realm needs."
He stared at me with those unsettling blue eyes. They were cold, like ice water - made me shiver from head to toe. Then his gaze seemed to search even deeper. Finally, he looked through me, like I was nothing. In brisk steps, he strode across the marble to the courtyard. But before crossing the threshold, he turned back to glare at me with his lip curled ever so slightly. "It seems she was mistaken."...
I felt my own lip curl in response. How rude! Who the Grimm was this peasant to judge me? I was wearing a Glenda original. Original! Not some fairy-godmother knockoff worn by those servant girls turned royal. I was a crown princess, for the love of fairy, and no one dismissed me. ~ Betsy Schow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Betsy Schow
I stamped my foot and pointed more forcefully. "Off with you. Courtyard's that way. Be sure to clean those awful boots before coming back in."

"Someone told me I'd find a princess of great worth here.

One with the strength to be the hero this realm needs." He stared at me with those unsettling blue eyes. They were cold, like ice water - made me shiver from head to toe. Then his gaze seemed to search even deeper. Finally, he looked through me, like I was nothing. "It seems she was mistaken. ~ Betsy Schow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Betsy Schow
Feeling your body beneath me was the closest to heaven that I shall ever come." He spoke not in a whisper but on an intimate level, his voice rolling like the caress of dark velvet. "Your skin, your mouth, your body, your sweet, sweet moans, and your blood… I want them all. I want quite a bit more, actually. So you best prepare yourself, my lady. Since I'm already damned, I aim to have all of you. I want to see that look of ecstasy on your face over and over again when I'm buried deep inside you and you're screaming my name. ~ Juliette Cross
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Juliette Cross
She was right - I have had over three hundred women to practice on. I should have known better. ~ Brigid Kemmerer
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Brigid Kemmerer
He flipped his spiked tail straight into the air in what could only be interpreted as an obscene gesture.

Rexi duplicated it in human form. "Right back atcha. ~ Betsy Schow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Betsy Schow
An ill-worded wish is worse than a curse... ~ Betsy Schow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Betsy Schow
Surely it could not be the same party. It looked like a warzone. The floating chandelier had crashed and shattered on the dance floor, freeing the now- dark floating orbs. People ran madly for the exit. Some were being chased by pickax-wielding dwarves, to say nothing of the ogres. The floor was littered with frogs. Hopefully they weren't enchanted princes, because some of them were getting squished by the mob. ~ Betsy Schow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Betsy Schow
There are dead bodies at my feet and children whimpering in the snow. Any minute, my brain is going to catch up and I'm going to collapse into sobs.

Instead, I saw the only thing my addled mind can come up with. "Thanks. ~ Brigid Kemmerer
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Brigid Kemmerer
Thank you for cracking open the barrier, by the way. I've been meaning to stop by for ages but never had the chance until now. It's such a shame I have to kill you. You would have made an excellent villain. After all, you've caused more damage in one afternoon than most henchmen do in a lifetime. And I didn't touch your parents. The blame for their loss lies squarely on your shoulders." She punctuated the your by pointing the mirror in my direction. ~ Betsy Schow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Betsy Schow
Our family became spelled after my ancestor pixed off two evil witch sisters. The witches' curse was supposed to doom my great- great- great grandmother to turn evil and torch the world - except the spell wasn't worded right. It didn't spec-ify which Emerald princess. So ever since, all the girls in the Emerald family have been stuck inside, since there's no way to know what generation will inherit the curse. ~ Betsy Schow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Betsy Schow
A Baba Yaga never breaks a promise. Legs, yes. Hearts, occasionally. But never a promise. ~ Deborah Blake
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Deborah Blake
She wasn't blindly waiting for some fairy tale; she was just smart enough to believe that she deserved it. ~ Lauren Layne
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Lauren Layne
I regretted that I hadn't turned myself into the kind of man that you could be with. That it wouldn't be just for me to be with you, even if you wanted me. Our lives started in the same shit hole, Elene, but somehow you've turned into you, and I've turned into this. I don't like what I've done. I don't like who I've become. You don't deserve a fairy tale? I don't deserve another chance, but I'm asking you for one. You're afraid that love is too risky? I've seen what happens when you don't risk it. [ ... ] I'm willing to risk it to see the world through your eyes. ~ Brent Weeks
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Brent Weeks
We've given them plenty of reasons to fear us. Even if they've almost forgotten–even if they only remember that we were beautiful and not why they were afraid–the fear was there before anything else. There were reasons for the burning times; there's a reason the fairy tales survive. ~ Seanan McGuire
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Seanan McGuire
There are some things even magic can't fix. ~ Chris Pavesic
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Chris Pavesic
Make it a human war,' she said fiercely. 'You're the first not to be deceived by my looks. Oh God! The boredom of the chivalrous knights and their milk-maid passion for the fairy tale princess. But I'm not like that ... inside. I'm not. I'm not. Never. Make it a savage war between us. Don't win me ... destroy me! ~ Alfred Bester
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Alfred Bester
In that moment, Lux felt complete for the first time. He hadn't even realized anything was missing until he met her, but now, with her curled up in his arms, her hair tickling against his chin, he couldn't imagine existing without her - Virtue - A Fairy Tale ~ Amanda Hocking
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Amanda Hocking
How do you plan to scare people tonight?" asked a hollow-voiced spector. "I'll wait until they sit down to supper, then scream whenever someone sticks his knife in his meat."
I'll haunt the bedchambers," said another. "A bloody ax at midnight always gets a good reaction."
A ghost with a purplish tinge to his aura spoke next. "I can top both of you. I'm going to dress like a guard and haunt the privy. I'll hide in the hole and when anyone sits down I'll wail, 'Who goes there? State your business! ~ E.D. Baker
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by E.D. Baker
Your love story was no fairy tale. More like a witch tale. Wicked and real and painful. ~ L.J. Shen
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by L.J. Shen
Idle man, chases after fairy tales ... ~ Rumi
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Rumi
Miracles do not belong to religions. Miracles belong to the desperate, which is why every religion, every philosophy, and most importantly, every fairy tale always has a moment of salvation, a eureka, an enlightenment. We are all chasing and chasing tails, running and running in circles, until a wolf or the witch or the stepmother jumps out and trips us, and we fall flat, splat, and we lie bare and bleeding and breathless and finally, finally look and see whatever it is---salvation or eureka or enlightenment or a hunter or prince or a glass slipper---in front of us. And that's what miracles are. Not solutions, but catalysts. Not answers, but chances. ~ Amy Zhang
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Amy Zhang
In the past, love for me has always meant forever, and sure, you still nurse some of those fantasies, but I don't try to force it anymore. I hung on to my fairy-tale ideals for a long time. But where I am now, what I've been through, there are no rules. There are lots of ways it can turn out instead of just one. There are so many different kinds of happiness, not just the one you learned about when you were 5 years old. ~ Jennifer Lopez
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Jennifer Lopez
Sleepy Hollow had a lot of action in it, even though it was a fairy-tale movie. ~ Colleen Atwood
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Colleen Atwood
Like stepping into a fairy tale under a curtain of stars. ~ Erin Morgenstern
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Erin Morgenstern
My fairy-tale life ended the moment I wanted to apply for a passport. ~ Joan Chen
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Joan Chen
It is only a fairy tale. They always end sadly. ~ Mercedes Lackey
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Mercedes Lackey
Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Are you overdone yet? ~ Charlotte Henley Babb
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Charlotte Henley Babb
And then they lived happily, and we who hear the story are happier still. ~ Andrew Lang
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Andrew Lang
Here's a story of a girl
Who grew up lost and lonely
Thinking love was fairy tale
And trouble was made only for me
Even in the darkness every color can be found
And every day of rain brings
Water flowing
To things growing in the ground
Grief replaced with pity
For a city barely coping
Dreams are easy to achieve
If hope is all I'm hoping to be
Any time you're hurt
There's one who has it worse around
And every drop of rain will keep you growing
Seeds you're sowing in the ground ~ Joss Whedon
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Joss Whedon
…near them grow dreamlike fairy-tale flowers whose leaves stir in the moonlight. ~ Heinrich Heine
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Heinrich Heine
In this fairy tale, I'm not the hero who scales the drawbridge. I'm the wolf who darkens the door." He was so close now that he was nearly pressed against her. "And when I do valiantly scale bridges to save the princess, it's only because I intend to burn those bridges down. ~ Kait Ballenger
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Kait Ballenger
Now more than ever she struck him like a fairy in a tale - a haunted one with shadowed eyes and a sting like a scorpion. ~ Laini Taylor
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Laini Taylor
'Seconds' is grounded in the reality of this restaurant environment, and I did do plenty of research, so there's that. It takes place in a town that is like a kinder, gentler fairy tale version of reality. Then it takes off into a story that is very strange, very mental. ~ Bryan Lee O'Malley
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Bryan Lee O'Malley
There were also books of fairy tales, The Arabian Nights, James Payn's work, Anthony Trollope's Vicar of Bullhampton, Thomas Hardy's Desperate Remedies, a pile of Wilkie Collins - The New Magdalen, The Law and the Lady, The Two Destinies, and a new Jules Verne novel titled Child of the Cavern that she itched to get her hands on. And then, there it was - A Tale of Two Cities. ~ Cassandra Clare
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Cassandra Clare
That story you heard? About how we were all created by a super-powerful dude named God who lives up in the sky? Total bullshit. The whole God thing is actually an ancient fairy tale that people have been telling one another for thousands of years. We made it all up. Like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
Oh, and by the way... there's no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny. Also bullshit. Sorry, kid. Deal with it. ~ Ernest Cline
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Ernest Cline
Fairy tales have a hidden power, and their appeal never ends. They're the best way to get messages across. ~ Michel Ocelot
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Michel Ocelot
My heart beats more for a raw, average vulgar art, which doesn't live between sleepy fairy-tale moods and poetry but rather concedes a direct entrance to the fearful, commonplace, splendid and the average grotesque banality in life. ~ Max Beckmann
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Max Beckmann
To be the object of desire is to be defined in the passive case.
To exist in the passive case is to die in the passive case – that is, to be killed.
This is the moral of the fairy tale about the perfect woman. ~ Angela Carter
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Angela Carter
I feel any time you enter a dream world it's like you're working out things, it's all inside your mind and you're working it out, be it Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, or the kids in Narnia, they go through this weird journey that's not real, and they're going through this journey psychologically. It's that journey of discovery, of getting onself together, that fantasy and fairy tales are so good at. And while some people still look upon them as completely unrealistic, for me they're more real than most things that are perceived as real. ~ Tim Burton
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Tim Burton
When we think about fairy tales, we think about happily ever afters, forgetting the darkness that stories beginning with "once upon a time" so often contain.
I tried to protect Shay from that darkness. But there was no way to shield her from the truth: Life is not a fairy tale. ~ Laura J. Burns
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Laura J. Burns
Goldenrod Moram had a first name that sounded like it belonged in the middle of a fairy tale, where she would be the dazzling princess in need of rescuing. ~ Sarvenaz Tash
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Sarvenaz Tash
Sometimes I think that love is one big fairy tale. I wonder if people who say they are in love, if – really – they've just talked themselves into it. They want it so badly, they kind of make it happen. They fake it until they start believing their own story. Maybe that's just sour grapes or something. Maybe because it doesn't happen to me, I don't want to think it happens to anyone else. ~ Elizabeth Chandler
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Elizabeth Chandler
At the bottom of the box were two big fairy-tale collections our father had sent us sometime after our parents divorced in 1963. I was four and my sister was five. We never saw him again. One book was a beautifully illustrated collection of Russian fairy tales inscribed, "To Rachel, from Daddy." The other, a book of Japanese fables, was inscribed to me. It had been years since I had opened them. I stared at the handwriting. Something seemed a bit off. Then it dawned on me - both inscriptions bore my own adolescent scrawl. I had always remembered the books and our father's dedications as proof of his love for us. Yet, how malleable our memories are, even if our brains are intact. Neuroscientists now suggest that while the core meaning of a long-term memory remains, the memory transforms each time we attempt to retrieve it. In fact, anatomical changes occur in the brain every single time we remember. As Proust said, "The only paradise is paradise lost. ~ Mira Bartok
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Mira Bartok
And really, really, when you put a fairy tale together with grime and despair and industrial angst you get the Gothic, and that's where we live, Percy. ~ Catherynne M Valente
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Catherynne M Valente
A fairy tale is one way to recount history. The ~ Michele Audin
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Michele Audin
My Prince Charming turned out to be the villain of my fairy tale. ~ J.M. Darhower
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by J.M. Darhower
I wanted to run away and keep running until I was out of this sad, ugly fairy tale. There's only one way to run away from your own story, and that's to sneak into someone else's. ~ Alix E. Harrow
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Alix E. Harrow
Cassie spoke up, "He is like Peter Pan and the Lost Boys." ...
Tameron said "No one is lost here. And we have just as many girls, well, maybe not as many as we have boys, but a fair amount. Who is this Peter Pan you speak of? A hero?" he asked Cassie.
Alicia spoke up then ... "He led a group of boys in a world of adventure on an island paradise."
Tameron looked at Cassie to see if she agreed. She smiled and nodded.
"This Peter Pan was real?" he asked.
"No, he was a fairy... uhm, tale," Cassie said.
Tameron smiled. "I like the idea. I'll have to read it sometime... ~ Terry Spear
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Terry Spear
I grew up in a household without a TV. We lived next door to a library for a while, and at one point, I checked out all the books in the fairy tale section. I remember the librarian's quiet smile as I'd bring back one stack and exchange it for another. ~ Victoria Hanley
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Victoria Hanley
An obsession, a mania, Lib supposed it could be called. A sickness of the mind. Hysteria, as that awful doctor had named it? Anna reminded Lib of a princess under a spell in a fairy tale. What could restore the girl to ordinary life? Not a prince. A magical herb from the world's end? Some shock to jolt a poisoned bite of apple out of her throat? No, something simple as a breath of air: reason. What if Lib shook the girl awake this very minute and said, Come to your senses!

But that was part of the definition of madness, Lib supposed, the refusal to accept that one was mad. Standish's wards were full of such people.

Besides, could children ever be considered quite of sound mind? Seven was counted the age of reason, but Lib's sense of seven-year-olds was that they still brimmed over with imagination. Children lived to play. Of course they could be put to work, but in spare moments they took their games as seriously as lunatics did their delusions. Like small gods, children formed their miniature worlds out of clay, or even just words. To them, the truth was never simple.

But Anna was eleven, which was a far cry from seven, Lib argued with herself. Other eleven-year-olds knew when they'd eaten and when they hadn't; they were old enough to tell make-believe from fact. There was something very different about - very wrong with - Anna O'Donnell. ~ Emma Donoghue
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Emma Donoghue
I wanted a fairy tale ending for Wavy, because if she could find happiness, there would be hope for me, too. ~ Bryn Greenwood
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Bryn Greenwood
Most happy stories are fantasies that never happened. A form of wish fulfillment. ( ... ) Telling happy stories that actually happened lends a sort of fairy-tale quality to real life. They remind the teller and the listener of the magic that can be found in the mundane if you pay close attention. ~ Megan McCafferty
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Megan McCafferty
My own life is a fairy tale story - one that has already been written by the hands of God. ~ Tessa Emily Hall
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by Tessa Emily Hall
Tolkien came to regard the tale of Beren and Tinuviel as 'the first example of the motive (to become dominant in Hobbits) that the great policies of world history, "the wheels of the world", are often turned not by the Lords and Governors, even gods, but by the seemingly unknown and weak'. Such a worldview is inherent in the fairy-tale (and Christian) idea of the happy ending in which the dispossessed are restored to joy; but perhaps Tolkien was also struck by the way it had been borne out in the Great War, when ordinary people stepped out of ordinary lives to carry the fate of nations. ~ John Garth
Fractured Fairy Tale quotes by John Garth
Fairy tales in childhood are stepping stones throughout life, leading the way through trouble and trial. The value of fairy tales lies not in a brief literary escape from reality, but in the gift of hope that goodness truly is more powerful than evil and that even the darkest reality can lead to a Happily Ever After. Do not take that gift of hope lightly. It has the power to conquer despair in the midst of sorrow, to light the darkness in the valleys of life, to whisper "One more time" in the face of failure. Hope is what gives life to dreams, making the fairy tale the reality. ~ L.R. Knost
