"There are truths that are beyond us, transcendent truths about beauty, truth, honor, etc. There are truths that man knows exist, but they cannot be seen - they are immaterial, but no less real to us. It is only through the language of myth that we can speak of these truths." - J.R.R. Tolkien (cf. Job 42:3; Jeremiah 33:3)
"Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G.K. Chesterton
