And though you should live

And though you should live in a palace of gold, or sleep in a dried up ditch, You could never be as poor as the fairies are, and never as rich.

~Rose Fyleman

Every time a child says

Every time a child says, "I don't believe in fairies," there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead.

~James Matthew Barrie, Peter Pan

Nothing can be truer

Nothing can be truer than fairy wisdom. It is as true as sunbeams.

~Douglas Jerrold

Faeries

Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.

~William Butler Yeats

No child

No child but must remember laying his head in the grass, staring into the infinitesimal forest and seeing it grow populous with fairy armies.

~Robert Louis Stevenson

Soft moss

Soft moss a downy pillow makes, and green leaves spread a tent,
Where Faerie fold may rest and sleep until their night is spent.
The bluebird sings a lullaby, the firefly gives a light,
The twinkling stars are candles bright, Sleep, Faeries all, Good Night.

~Elizabeth T. Dillingham, "A Faery Song"

Deep within

Deep within the winter forest among the snowdrift wide
You can find a magic place where all the fairies hide....

~Author Unknown

Wind chimes

Wind chimes in your yard will serenade garden creatures - squirrels, fairies and angels.

~Author Unknown

I believe in everything

I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?

~John Lennon

A rustle in the wind

A rustle in the wind reminds us a fairy is near.

Blind folk see the fairies

Blind folk see the fairies.
Oh, better far than we,
Who miss the shining of their wings
Because our eyes are filled with things
We do not wish to see.

~Rose Fyleman

This is a work of fiction

This is a work of fiction. All the characters in it, human and otherwise, are imaginary, excepting only certain of the fairy folk, whom it might be unwise to offend by casting doubts on their existence. Or lack thereof.

~Neil Gaiman

Each fairy breath

Each fairy breath of summer, as it blows with loveliness, inspires the blushing rose.

~Author Unknown

We the Fairies

We the Fairies, blithe and antic,
Of dimensions not gigantic,
Though the moonshine mostly keep us,
Oft in orchards frisk and peep us.

~Thomas Randolph

A lady, with whom I was riding

A lady, with whom I was riding in the forest, said to me, that the woods always seemed to her to wait, as if the genii who inhabit them suspended their deeds until the wayfarer has passed onward: a thought which poetry has celebrated in the dance of the fairies, which breaks off on the approach of human feet.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson, "History"

Come away

Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

~William Butler Yeats, "The Stolen Child"

When the winds of March

When the winds of March are wakening the crocuses and crickets,
Did you ever find a fairy near some budding little thickets,...
And when she sees you creeping up to get a closer peek
She tumbles through the daffodils, a playing hide and seek.

~Marjorie Barrows

Spread your wings

Spread your wings and let the fairy in you fly!

~Author Unknown

We call them faerie

We call them faerie. We don't believe in them. Our loss.

~Charles de Lint

The wall is silence

The wall is silence, the grass is sleep,
Tall trees of peace their vigil keep,
And the Fairy of Dreams with moth-wings furled
Plays soft on her flute to the drowsy world.

~Ida Rentoul Outhwaite
