“Have you ever seen a child sitting on its mother’s knee listening to fairy stories? As long as the child is told of cruel giants and of the terrible suffering of beautiful princesses, it holds its head up and its eyes open; but if the mother begins to speak of happiness and sunshine, the little one closes its eyes and falls asleep with its head against her breast. . . . I am a child like that, too. Others may like stories of flowers and sunshine; but I choose the dark nights and sad destinies.” IfsMayChildrenLittlesLongStoriesEyeBeautifulMotherNightSufferingFallSpeakDarkDestinyFlowerListeningTerribleSittingKneesGiantsFairyBreastsSunshinePrincessDark NightHeads UpFairy Stories Author:Selma Lagerlöf
