Zora Neale Hurston
Folklore is the arts of the people before they find out that there is any such thing as art.
Zora Neale Hurston

Julie Kagawa
It would be dreadfully ironic, I mused, if once I earned a soul, I forgot everything about being fey, including all my memories of her. That sort of ending seemed appropriately tragic; the smitten fey creature becomes human but forgets why he wanted to in the first place. Old fairy tales loved that sort of irony.
Julie Kagawa
