Found a great quote today about the power of Fairy Tales and Story.
“Fairy tales do not give a child his first idea of
bogey. What fairy tales give the child is his
first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey.
The baby has known the dragon intimately
ever since he had an imagination. What the
fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to
kill the dragon.”
—G. K. CHESTERTON, TREMENDOUS
TRIFLES, ESSAY XVII, “THE RED ANGEL"
Stories and Fairy Tales show us that we are capable of overcoming the challenges placed before us.
