While this quote is not from a science fiction or fantasy story, it definitely hits the spot for getting the message across.  This is also my first political quote added to this blog.


&#8220;One day a peacock. The next day a feather duster.&#8221;
—  Democrat Patrick Quinn, Illinois lieutenant governor

&#8220;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.&#8221;


&#8211; G. K. Chesterton

&#8220;No, actually it isn&#8217;t&#8221;, said Tiffany.  &#8220;Patronizing is a big word.  Zoology is really quite short.&#8221;
From The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett.
