Märchen / Fairy Tales Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Märchen / Fairy Tales:

I also like the whole idea of fairy tales and folk tales being a woman's domain, considered a lesser domain at the time they were told. Alice Hoffman

As a child, I loved fairy tales because the story, the what-comes-next, is paramount. As an adult, I'm fascinated by their logic and illogic.

Gail Carson Levine

With 'Grimm,' it's a lot of fun for me to be able to play within the familiar world of fairy tales. As for satisfying my inner fantasy geek, anything that would have me wielding a sword or shooting a bow would be a dream.

Sasha Roiz

All the ancient classic fairy tales have always been scary and dark.

Helena Bonham Carter

The kids from the streets don't want preaching or messages. They want what they can identify with. They want to hear about the reality of their situation, not fairy tales. They don't care if it's ugly; they just want reality.

Eazy-E

From as far back as I can remember, I always loved the King Arthur stories, fairy tales, mythology - things like that. So it was very natural for me when I came to write the 'Prydain' books to sort of follow that direction.

Lloyd Alexander

I loved fairy tales as a kid, so that's where my mind gravitates.

Gail Carson Levine

Dragons and bridges are very much something out of fairy tales and fantasy.

John Howe

I love fairy tales because of their haunting beauty and magical strangeness. They are set in worlds where anything can happen. Frogs can be kings, a thicket of brambles can hide a castle where a royal court has lain asleep for a hundred years, a boy can outwit a giant, and a girl can break a curse with nothing but her courage and steadfastness.

Kate Forsyth

In kindergarten that used to be my job, to tell them fairytales. I liked Hans Christian Andersen, and the Grimm fairy tales, all the classic fairy tales.

Francis Ford Coppola

I'll be left writing picture books and fairy tales.

Carol Ann Duffy

All of my work is influenced by fairy tales, and I hope my work shows Hans Christian Anderson's influence.

Sandra Cisneros

I never saw fairy tales as an escape or a cop-out... On the contrary, speaking for myself, it is the way to understand reality.

Lloyd Alexander

Just about every science whiz can tell you how he or she took apart the TV or the radio when they were kids just to see how it worked. To see what the world was made of. Well, when I was a kid, I took apart fairy tales to see how they worked. To see what the world was made of.

Catherynne M. Valente

My parents read me fairy tales every night and I used to believe I was a fairytale princess, like every young girl. I had all the Disney dressing-up costumes and would play every character.

Lily Collins

I didn't like fairy tales when I was younger. I found a lot of fairy tales scary. They really didn't sit well with me.

Amanda Seyfried

I also like the whole idea of fairy tales and folk tales being a woman's domain, considered a lesser domain at the time they were told.

Alice Hoffman

I loved fairy tales when I was a kid. Grimm. The grimmer the better. I loved gruesome gothic tales and, in that respect, I liked Bible stories, because to me they were very gothic.

Amy Tan

One of the pleasures of the original 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' is how incredibly ghastly they are. The ugly sisters have their eyes pecked out by crows.

Mark Gatiss

I found a lot of fairy tales scary. They really didn't sit well with me.

Amanda Seyfried

To be honest, Peter Pan was one of those fairy tales that I sort of related to, and I think that's the case with a lot of kids. The whole idea of escapism really resonates with a lot of kids.

Robbie Kay

I always felt and still feel that fairy tales have an emotional truth that is so deep that there are few things that really rival them.

Alice Hoffman

I think that Shakespeare himself raided fairy tales and chronicle writers, and he always looked to people who worked in the mythic genres, whether it was folk tales or popular novels.

Kenneth Branagh

We may have forgotten how to feel. Nobody is teaching us how to live happily ever after, as we've heard in fairy tales.

Yakov Smirnoff

My father leaving the family shaped who I was and how I looked at the world. By the same token, my father telling me fairy tales that he had made up shaped me profoundly, too.

Kate DiCamillo

It's fun to twist fairy tales, but at the same time, I know I need to write stories that are different enough from each other that fans don't feel like they're just reading the same story over and over again.

Janette Rallison

God, people say 'Black Mirror' was horrible - it's nothing compared to the stuff that happens in 'Grimms' Fairy Tales.' It's mind-bending.

Charlie Brooker

Even as a kid, I read 'Jung - Reflections and Individuation In Fairy Tales'; all the inner circle of Jung was a real huge thing for me.

Pamela Anderson

What I personally gravitate toward tends to be fantasy, medium dark - not too dark - fairy tales and sci fi. Stop-motion takes something on the page that's really dark and adds a little sweetness to it, a living toys realm.

Henry Selick

I never read any fairy tales or classics until I was an adult; all we ever had was comics... No television, either. If we wanted entertainment, we hung around the fish shop.

Michael Foreman

Why should a horror film be just a horror film? To me, The Company of Wolves is a fairy tale; it's got all those elements plus a lot more. And we know that fairy tales aren't innocent any more.

Neil Jordan

What I like about fairy tales is that they highlight the emotions within a story. The situations aren't real, with falling stars and pirates. But what you do relate to is the emotions that the characters feel.

Charlie Cox

Fairy tales are with us day in and day out, not just in commercials, but references in the theater, movies, museums, schools, etc.

Jack Zipes

Fairy tales are really violent, the original ones.

Jane Levy

I was raised on the brothers Grimm, but my favorite fairy tales in the world are Oscar Wilde's - 'The Nightingale and the Rose,' 'The Selfish Giant.' The latter is probably my all-time favorite.

Denis O'Hare

I think people should read fairy tales, because we're hungry for a mythology that will speak to our fears.

Sandra Cisneros

People don't like the true and simple; they like fairy tales and humbug.

Edmond de Goncourt
