It does seem that a fantasy, working out in its own terms, stretching you beyond the normal concerns of your own life, gains you a peculiar charge of energy which inexplicably enriches you. at least, this is my ideal of a fantasy, and i am always trying to write it.

It Does Seem That A Fantasy, Working

Diana Wynne Jones
It does seem that a fantasy, working out in its own terms, stretching you beyond the normal concerns of your own life, gains you a peculiar charge of energy which inexplicably enriches you. at least, this is my ideal of a fantasy, and i am always trying to write it.

More From Diana Wynne Jones

If there is such a thing as saintly renunciation, it is renouncing small gains for better gains; not for no gains, but seeing with open eyes what is better and what is inferior. even if the choice has to lie between two momentary gains, one of these would always be found to be more real and lasting; that is the one that should be followed for the time.
Real Lying Eye
I really wish that peoplewould just say, 'yes, it's a comic. yes, this is fantasy. yes, this is science fiction,' and defend the genre instead of saying, 'horror is a bit passe so this is dark fantasy,' and that' s playing someone else's game. so that's why i say i'm a fantasy writer and to hell with 'it doesn't read like what i think of as a fantasy'. in that case what you think of as a fantasy is not a fantasy. or there is more to it than you think.
Dark Thinking Games
I think that all countries of the region should join their efforts in the fight against a common threat - terrorism in general and isis in particular. it concerns iran as well, it concerns saudi arabia (although the two countries do not get along very well, isis threatens both of them), it concerns jordan, it concerns turkey (in spite of certain problems regarding the kurdish issue), and, in my opinion, everybody is interested in resolving the situation. our task is to join these efforts to fight against a common enemy.
Country Fighting Thinking
The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one’s mind, is the condition of the normal man. society highly values its normal man. it educates children to lose themselves and to become absurd, and thus to be normal. normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years.
Children Learning Men
Power is not something we should be afraid of. power is great, power is energy. and in terms of energy, the most important energy is human spiritual energy and when i say spiritual, i feel like have to be very careful, i don't mean religious, i mean the energy of the mind, the energy that exists within us.
Spiritual Religious Mean
The best reason to be assigned, in this case, for not having made the constitution more free from a charge of uncertainty in its meaning, is believed to be, that it was not suspected that any such charge would ever take place; and it appears that no such charge did take place, during the early period of the constitution, when the meaning of its authors could be best ascertained, nor until many of the contemporary lights had in the lapse of time been extinguished. how often does it happen, that a notoriety of intention diminishes the caution against its being misunderstood or doubted!
