Greetings, Everyone.

I ran across this article today, and I thought you all might enjoy it.

To imperfectly quote Neil Gaiman, "Fairy tales are more than true. Not because they tell us dragons exist but because they tell us dragons can be beaten." We all need Star Wars. We all need stories of great deeds and of helping others and of good men overcoming evil and of finding redemption for our sins. Again with Gaiman, "Tales and dreams are the shadow truths that will live on long after mere facts are dust and ashes and forgot."

G.K Chesterton said it first - Pratchett quoted Chesterton, and Gaiman's quote derived from Pratchett's.
