“I regard the afterlife to be a fairy story for people that are afraid of the dark”

“Things we are accustomed to regard as myth or fairy story are very much present in people’s lives. Nice people behave like wicked stepmothers. Every day.”

“And lastly there is the oldest and deepest desire, the Great Escape: the Escape from Death. Fairy-stories provide many examples and modes of this … Fairy-stories are made by men not by fairies. The Human-stories of the elves are doubtless full of the Escape from Deathlessness.”

“There are fairy stories to be written for adults. Stories that are still in a green state.”

“I’m not afraid of the darkness outside.
It’s the darkness inside houses I don’t like.”

“Fairy tales are such evil little stories for young children.”

“In the afterlife, people never forget to feed the dog.”

“I am a demon hunter. Clearly, I am not afraid of the dark.”

“The stage is like a cage of light. People are no longer afraid of you - they are the ones out there in the dark, watching.”

“There is an afterlife to love
and there is love in the afterlife.”
