J.M. Barrie
Do you believe in fairies? Say quick that you believe! If you believe, clap your hands!
J.M. Barrie
When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.
Emily Jane Brontë
So hopeless is the world without, The world within I doubly prize; Thy world, where guile and hate and doubt And cold suspicion never rise; Where thou and I and Liberty Have undisputed sovereignty.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

Orson Welles
Ladies and gentlemen, I have a graveannouncement to make. Incredible as it mayseem, strange beings who landed in New Jersey tonight are the vanguard of an invading armyfrom Mars.
Alexis de Tocqueville
