• truthfully, this is the fabric of all my fantasies: love shown not by a kiss or a wild look or a careful hand but by a willingness for research. i don’t dream of someone who understands me immediately, who seems to have known me my entire life, who says, i know me too. i want someone keen to learn my own strange organization, amazed at what’s revealed; someone who asks, and then what, and then what?

• Y para los adultos, el mundo de los libros de fantasía nos devuelve las grandes palabras de poder que, para ser domesticadas, hemos extirpado de nuestros vocabularios adultos. Estas palabras son la pornografía de la inocencia, palabras que los adultos ya no utilizamos con otros adultos, y por eso nos reímos de ellas y las relegamos al cuarto de los niños, con el miedo disfrazado de cinismo. Estas son las palabras que se forjaron en la tierra, el aire, el fuego y el agua de la existencia humana, y las palabras son: Amor. Odio. El bien. El mal. Valor. Honor. Verdad.

• When you're living your life in endurance mode, you don't expect anything good to happen. I'm not saying that you don't dream about some miracle that would change everything for the better. But you pretty much know it's only a fantasy, and that you have no real control over anything.

• A child who can love the oddities of a fantasy book cannot possibly be xenophobic as an adult. What is a different color, a different culture, a different tongue for a child who has already mastered Elvish, respected Puddleglums, or fallen under the spell of dark-skinned Ged?

• Lo bueno de la fantasía es que puedes sacar de tu subconsciente sueños, anhelos, esperanzas, miedos y luchas, llamarlos "magia", "dragones" o "hadas" y conocerlos mejor. Pero luego escribo las cosas. Obviamente tengo prejuicios.

• Back in middle school, Catherine and I had gone through this stage where all we would read were fantasy books. We'd consume them like M&M's, by the fistful, J.R.R. Tolkien and Terry Brooks and Susan Cooper and Lloyd Alexander. Susan Boone looked, to me, like the queen of the elves (there's almost always an elf queen in fantasy books). I mean, she was shorter than me and had on a strange lineny outfit in pale blues and greens.

• Hay cosas que son más importantes que las noticias y lo que ocurre hoy. Existen estos arquetipos que forman parte de la imaginación humana desde que los humanos son presumiblemente imaginativos. Y creo que eso es lo que [a la gente] le conmueve, esas ideas eternas. Es una de las cosas que hacen de la fantasía algo que tiende a resistir el paso del tiempo, porque estamos leyendo, 50 años después, El Señor de los Anillos.

  Clive Barker

• El cambio más sutil en New York es algo de lo que la gente no habla mucho pero que está en la mente de todos. La ciudad, por primera vez en su larga historia, es destructible. Un solo vuelo de aviones no más grande que una cuña de gansos puede acabar rápidamente con esta isla de fantasía, quemar las torres, desmoronar los puentes, convertir los pasadizos subterráneos en cámaras letales, incinerar a los millones de personas. La insinuación de la mortalidad ya forma parte de New York: en el sonido de los aviones sobrevolando la ciudad, en los titulares negros de la última edición. (Escrito en 1949, 22 años antes de que se terminara de construir el World Trade Center).

• Books are, let's face it, better than everything else. If we played Cultural Fantasy Boxing League, and made books go fifteen rounds in the ring against the best that any other art form had to offer, then books would win pretty much every time.
