More quotes by Jack Zipes
Inevitably they find their way into the forest. It is there that they lose and find themselves. It is there that they gain a sense of what is to be done. The forest is always large, immense, great and mysterious. No one ever gains power over the forest, but the forest posses the power to change lives and alter destinies.
Jack Zipes
If there is one ‘constant’ in the structure and theme of the wonder tale, it is transformation.
Jack Zipes
Fairy tales begin with conflict because we all begin our lives with conflict. We are all misfit for the world, and somehow we must fit in, fit in with other people, and thus we must invent or find the means through communication to satisfy as well as resolve conflicting desires and instincts.
Jack Zipes
The role of the storyteller is to awaken the storyteller in others.
