How else to explain that the Cinderella story is told in nearly every society on earth? To think of fairy tales as merely stories for children is to ignore thousands of years when fairy tales were used to teach morality, to warn, and to entertain both children and adults.”

“Just because you are married don't believe your fairy tale is complete.”

“Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told me in my childhood than any truth that is taught in life.”
