lands of magic 'inspiration' post

My third and final theme for the [community profile] lands_of_magic 'inspiration' challenge is 'fantasy'.

Prompts:
lost in the woods * fairy circle * spell book * creatures of the night * secret door * spells and curses * magic * dream sharing * ghosts * magic shop * long lost heir/heiress * hidden world * mysterious birthmark * myths and legends * under the sea


Quotes:

“Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it.” ― Lloyd Alexander

“Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.” ― Dr. Seuss

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!” ― J.R.R. Tolkien

“The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.” ― J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.” ― Albert Einstein

“When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it.” ― Caitlyn Siehl, Literary Sexts: A Collection of Short & Sexy Love Poems

“Fairies have to be one thing or the other, because being so small they unfortunately have room for one feeling only at a time.” ― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

“I think you’re a fairy tale. I think you’re magical, and brave, and exquisite. And I hope you'll let me be in your story.” ― Laini Taylor, Strange the Dreamer

“The cost of oblivious daydreaming was always this moment of return, the realignment with what had been before and now seemed a little worse. ” ― Ian McEwan, Atonement

“Fantasy, if it's really convincing, can't become dated, for the simple reason that it represents a flight into a dimension that lies beyond the reach of time.” ― Walt Disney

Songs:

Jenny of Oldstones by Florence and the Machine

I See Fire by Ed Sheeran

Neverland by Zendaya

SO MUCH AWESOMENESS in this post!!!!!! There's even a picture I thought I would never see again, the one of the white dragon, that my Daddy had once had. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite in all this wonder -- if Jareth hadn't been referred to as an Angel in that one video!! *melt*

If I didn't have fantasy I'd lose my mind. 🧝🧙🧟
