“You¡¯re terrible at this whole ¡®tell me whatever I want to know¡¯ thing.¡± My hand goes to the crossbow, but I don¡¯t pick it up.

“But the storytellers would never know that. Even if people had known the truth, they wouldn't have been interested in telling it. Flowers pouring from Windows like falling stars made a better tale.”
― Alwyn Hamilton, Hero at the Fall

“Once there was. Once there wasn't.
A long, long time ago, in a land not so faraway, when the sieve was inside the straw, the donkey was the town crier,and the camel was the barber ... when I was older than my father so that I rocked his cradle upon hearing his cry ... when the world was upside down and time was a cycle that turned around and around so that the future was older than the past and the past was as pristine as newly sowed fields ...

Once there was. Once there wasn't. God's creatures were as plentiful as grains and talking too much was a sin, for you could tell what you shouldn't remember and you could remember what you shouldn't tell....”
― Elif Shafak, The Bastard of Istanbul

― Akshay Vasu, The Abandoned Paradise: Unraveling the beauty of untouched thoughts and dreams

“Stories were made up and spun in the evenings in rooms smelling of melting lard and fried onions, village halls, smoky taverns, roadhouses, crofts, tar kilns, forest homesteads and border watchtowers. Tales were spun and told. About war. About heroism and chivalry. About friendship and hatred. About wickedness and betrayal. About faithful and genuine love, about the love that always triumphs. About the crimes and punishments that always befall criminals. About justice that is always just.
About truth, which always rises to the surface like oil.
Tales were told; people rejoiced in them. Enjoyed the fairy-tale fictions. Because, indeed, all around, in real life, things happened entirely back to front.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, Pani Jeziora

“Tales are as much the necessary fabric of our lives as our bodies are.”

― Hayley Chewins, The Turnaway Girls

“Apparently we live our lives as a tale which is told. There are times I wish I could tell the tale of my life to others and times I believe it should stay untold, buried with their secrets¡­.and mine. Yet I do not regret my role in what was to come. My early years were very uninteresting but yet they ultimately paved the way for the path that I took.”
― LEONORA MORRISON, Red Velvet Rose

“To find your haven between the pages...to smell the words that never grow old....to sink your deeps in the tales of long lost times.... to emerge with every trembling in your voice....is to be the untamed soul... gleaming like gold.....”

“Had I been handed the pen in the telling of the tale, the story would have ended with a sealed tomb. And I would have written it in such a manner because I desperately lack both the bravery to risk believing in greater things, and the vision to see beyond lesser things. And so, thank God that He never handed me the pen. But far more profoundly, thank God that He allowed me to read the tale so that I can actually live the tale.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Old memories are much like old wine... they are shelters to return to....for the log still burns in the crackle of flames...loud or soft...the story remains alive...and old wine brings the best of reminiscence ...while old alleys are best to re-visit for the love story still smells in the breeze...”
