Quotes:

"The objection to fairy stories is that they tell children there are dragons. But children have always known there are dragons. Fairy stories tell children that dragons can be killed."
    — G.K. Chesterton

"Zoology, eh? That's a big word, isn't it"
"No, actually it isn't", said Tiffany. "Patronizing is a big word. Zoology is really quite short."

    — Terry Pratchett
