Fairies have to be one thing or the other, because being so small they unfortunately have room for one feeling only at a time.

J.m. Barrie
About This Quote

Fairies are small, don’t see them? Fairies are no longer here. This means that they are tiny and have limited emotions. Fairies are also known for their unconditional love, which is why they often have a hard time being happy with one thing or another. They have to be one thing or the other because being so small they unfortunately have room for only one feeling at a time.
