The fairy tale belongs to the poor... I know of no fairy tale which upholds the tyrant, or takes the part of the strong against the weak. A fascist fairy tale is an absurdity.

About This Quote

A fairy tale has to be about good over evil. Fairy tales are about the weak overcoming the strong. Fairy tales are about the people who are put down by life rising up above their circumstances, and working together to overcome the odds. Fairy tales give hope that no matter how bad things may get, there is always a way to get out of trouble, and emerge triumphantly on the other side. A fairy tale must never take the side of the powerful against the weak.
