Quotes
- “Laws assure animals of protection – formally, officially, set down in black and white. But in the long run, the best protection is the human heart.”
- “The muse in charge of fantasy wears good, sensible shoes.”
- “In the algebra of fantasy, A times B doesn't have to equal B times A. But, once established, the equation must hold throughout the story.”
- “Fantasy, by its power to move us so deeply, to dramatize, even melo-dramatize, morality, can be one of the most effective means of establishing a capacity for adult values.”
- “At heart, the issues raised in a work of fantasy are those we face in real life. In whatever guise—our own daily nightmares of war, intolerance, inhumanity; or the struggles of an Assistant Pig-Keeper against the Lord of Death—the problems are agonizingly familiar. And an openness to compassion, love and mercy, is as essential to us here and now as it is to any inhabitant of an imaginary kingdom.”
- “Our only hope for tomorrow is peace now.”
