Magus choice today: The Complete Fairy Tales by Oscar Wilde

I'm stoked! I was expecting I'd get a novel, but I think this will hit the spot.

I have already read "The Selfish Giant" and I have high hopes that this collection will be amazing.

I read one today, "The Happy Prince." It was one of his earlier works and his faith is still evident in a really beautiful way (of course it's beautifully put--it's Wilde!)

Anyway... I hope to put some good Wilde quotes up soon.

Adventure for tomorrow: interview! Pray if you would =l =)

One day, I may accomplish incredible things. I may have influence. I may achieve lofty goals.

But I hope to never lose the part of me who is "Alice."

"When I used to read fairy-tales, thought Alice, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!"

"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.

"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

"The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice. 'Who are you?'"

"...so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things were really impossible."

Dedication to The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

"My Dear Lucy,

I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand, a word you say, but I shall still beyour affectionate Godfather,
C.S. Lewis"

I love this quote... someday we will all be old enough to start reading fairy tales again...
