Ferdowsi

As I live and am a man, this is an unexaggerated tale - my dreams become the substances of my life.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I am your fairy tale. Your dream. Your wishes and desires, and I am your thirst and your hunger and your food and your drink.

I should be very willing to redress men wrongs, and rather check than punish crimes, had not Cervantes, in that all too true tale of Quixote, shown how all such efforts fail.
Lord Byron

I took lots of photographs and had planned to write a treatise on how it worked, but I quickly got bored with that idea and wrote a scientific fairy tale instead.
Kit Williams

I was a great reader of fairy tales. I tried to read the entire fairy tale section of the library.
