Whose Faulty Vision

Quote of the Whenever

Quote of the Whenever:

“FAIRY-TALES do not give a child his first idea of bogy. What fairy-tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogy. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy-tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon.”

-G. K. Chesterton. I quoted an abridged version of this quote a few years back; this appears to be the full version.
