Political Fairy

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or fairy:

“I have never known a novel that was good enough to be good in spite of its being adapted to the author’s political views.”

That’s all. Of course, there may be some sort of sequel but it is not known to me. In such cases instead of getting bogged down in guesswork, I repeat the words of the merry king in my favorite fairy tale: Which arrow flies for ever? The arrow that has hit its mark.”
