George MacDonald
A fairytale is not an allegory. There may be allegory in it, but it is not an allegory.
George MacDonald
In the hearts of witches, love and hate lie close together and often tumble over each other.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
Common people, whether lords or shop-keepers, are slow to understand that possession, whether in the shape of birth or lands or money or intellect, is a small affair in the difference between men.
George MacDonald
Attitudes are more important than facts.
George MacDonald
And so all growth that is not towards God Is growing to decay.
