Fantasy

"Our records, if you have a dark sense of humor, were funny, but our records weren't about comedy. They were about protests, fantasy, confrontation and all that." "سجلاتنا، إن كنتَ ذا حسٍّ فكاهيٍّ سوداويّ، كانت مضحكة، لكنها لم تكن عن الكوميديا. بل كانت عن الاحتجاجات، والخيال، والمواجهة، وكل ما شابه ذلك."

"Literature for me isn't a workaday job, but something which involves desires, dreams and fantasy." "الأدب بالنسبة لي ليس مهنة روتينية، بل هو عالم من الرغبات والأحلام والخيال."

"For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams. In my little room at home, I felt that I was somewhere else. In Paris, for instance." "بالنسبة لي، كان رسم الأزياء يدور حول الخيال والأحلام. في غرفتي الصغيرة بالمنزل، كنت أشعر أنني في مكان آخر. في باريس، على سبيل المثال."

"Dreams are not without meaning wherever thay may come from-from fantasy, from the elements, or from other inspiration." "الأحلام لا تخلو من معنى، أينما كان مصدرها: من الخيال، أو من العناصر، أو من إلهام آخر."

"Horror, for me, has to involve some sort of fantasy. Horror is something that is in your dreams or your nightmares." "الرعب، بالنسبة لي، لا بد أن يتضمن شكلاً من أشكال الخيال. إنه ما يسكن أحلامك أو كوابيسك."

"Glamour is an imaginative process that creates a specific emotional response: a sharp mixture of projection, longing, admiration, and aspiration. It evokes an audience's hopes and dreams and makes them seem attainable, all the while maintaining enough distance to sustain the fantasy." "البريق عملية تخيلية تُحدث استجابة عاطفية محددة: مزيج حاد من الإسقاط، والشوق، والإعجاب، والطموح. إنه يستثير آمال الجمهور وأحلامهم ويجعلها تبدو في المتناول، مع الحفاظ على مسافة كافية لإدامة الخيال."

"There have been many different artists that have been inspirational. I suppose the question is directed to what was the reason why I went into fantasy illustration." "لقد ألهمتني العديد من الفنانين المختلفين. وأظن أن السؤال موجه إلى السبب الذي دفعني لدخول مجال الرسم الخيالي."

"At Burning Man, the audience is the show: the boundaries between stage and public overlap and melt. Every form of self-expression, every fantasy... everything has a place. It's kind of a utopia, and everyone who sets foot in it is so impressed that they do their best to respect it and keep it alive." "في برنينغ مان، الجمهور هو العرض بحد ذاته: تتداخل الحدود بين المسرح والجمهور وتذوب. كل شكل من أشكال التعبير عن الذات، كل خيال... كل شيء يجد له مكاناً. إنها أشبه بالمدينة الفاضلة، وكل من تطأ قدماه أرضها ينبهر بها لدرجة أنه يبذل قصارى جهده لاحترامها والحفاظ عليها حية."

"In every respect, fantasy is like doing abstract paintings." "الخيال، من كل وجه، أشبه برسم اللوحات التجريدية."

"Tolkien came to regard the tale of Beren and Tinuviel as 'the first example of the motive (to become dominant in Hobbits) that the great policies of world history, "the wheels of the world", are often turned not by the Lords and Governors, even gods, but by the seemingly unknown and weak'. Such a worldview is inherent in the fairy-tale (and Christian) idea of the happy ending in which the dispossessed are restored to joy; but perhaps Tolkien was also struck by the way it had been borne out in the Great War, when ordinary people stepped out of ordinary lives to carry the fate of nations." "لقد اعتبر تولكين قصة بيرين وتينوفيل "المثال الأول للدافع (الذي سيصبح مهيمنًا لدى الهوبيت) بأن السياسات الكبرى في تاريخ العالم، و"عجلات العالم"، غالبًا ما تُدار لا على يد السادة والحكام، ولا حتى الآلهة، بل على يد من يبدون مجهولين وضعفاء". إن نظرة كهذه للعالم متأصلة في فكرة الحكاية الخرافية (والمسيحية) عن النهاية السعيدة التي يُعاد فيها المحرومون إلى الفرح؛ ولكن ربما تأثر تولكين أيضًا بالطريقة التي تجلت بها هذه الفكرة في الحرب العظمى، حينما خرج أناس عاديون من حياتهم المعتادة ليحملوا مصير الأمم."

"She could have rambled with all the fervor of a woman who had loved one entity for longer than most races live, and with the inviolable, unquestioned certainty found in dementia. There were references dated and sealed with meticulous care which she would have enthusiastically opened with the mirth of one proclaiming a lifetime of honors and awards. But that singular event was freshly disturbed; its pores still drifted on the faint zephyr of remembrance." "كان بوسعها أن تسرد بحماس امرأة عشقت كيانًا واحدًا لأمد أطول من حياة معظم الأجناس، وبيقين لا يتزعزع ولا يُسأل عنه، كيَقين الخرف. كانت هناك إشارات مؤرخة ومختومة بعناية فائقة، كانت لتفتحها بابتهاج من يعلن عن عمرٍ من التكريمات والجوائز. لكن ذلك الحدث الفريد كان قد اضطرب للتو؛ وما زالت مساماته تنجرف على نسيم الذكرى الخافت."

"Monsters almost always are culture's way of working out their fears." "الوحوش غالبًا ما تكون تجسيدًا ثقافيًا للمخاوف التي تعتمل في النفوس."

"A woman of battle cannot take the same risks as a woman of the fields or a woman of the town. One may not strap a baby basket to one’s back along with one’s swords and ride off to battle." -- Renda of Brannagh,"

"Choices are exhibited through the notions of free will,temptation challenges them."

"Oh yes. You’ve done a marvelous job of succeeding at failure."

"When she had arranged her household affairs, she came to the library and bade me follow her. Then, with the mirror still swinging against her knees, she led me through the garden and the wilderness down to a misty wood. It being autumn, the trees were tinted gloriously in dusky bars of colouring. The rowan, with his amber leaves and scarlet berries, stood before the brown black-spotted sycamore; the silver beech flaunted his golden coins against my poverty; firs, green and fawn-hued, slumbered in hazy gossamer. No bird carolled, although the sun was hot. Marina noted the absence of sound, and without prelude of any kind began to sing from the ballad of the Witch Mother: about the nine enchanted knots, and the trouble-comb in the lady's knotted hair, and the master-kid that ran beneath her couch. Every drop of my blood froze in dread, for whilst she sang her face took on the majesty of one who traffics with infernal powers. As the shade of the trees fell over her, and we passed intermittently out of the light, I saw that her eyes glittered like rings of sapphires.("The Basilisk")"

"How may a mortal, face and defeat the Kraken"

"I loved his enormous aptitude for compassion, adoration and respect. That was his way of showing love. He lacked the capacity for wickedness, and that caressed my belief that he might just be an angel. My angel."

"You are a blue rose, Letti. It’s almost impossible that you exist amongst the other roses but you do. You bring wonder to those who are lucky enough to find you. The blue rose is lonely, lost and awaits someone special to believe in them; the same feeling I got from you the day we met. Blue roses are incomprehensible and mysterious. And so are you."
