On why fantasy stories are important:
"Oh! Where to start? Fantasy reminds us that there are other possibilities; I mean they stretch those muscles."
"You're reminded that the way things are isn't the only possible way that they could be. It's not that they convince you that, for instance, goblins are real, they just stretch that sense of possibility just enough sideways that you don't get tricked into thinking that this is it — that the current shape of the world is the only possible shape it could ever have."
"Things are changing constantly," he said. "Plus they're fun. Goblins are fun." William Alexander
