Storytelling Quote by J.R.R. Tolkien
““I dislike Allegory – the conscious and intentional allegory – yet any attempt to explain the purport of myth or fairytale must use allegorical language. (And, of course, the more ‘life’ a story has the more readily will it be susceptible of allegorical interpretations: while the better a deliberate allegory is made the more nearly will it be acceptable just as a story.)””
![“They [Fairy Tales] are talking about real emotions, telling true stories, through the medium of metaphor. People used to understand metaphor better than I think we do now. But these stories are so potent, they refuse to die.” quote by Jane Yolen](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a23/jane-yolen-7302_emotion_they-fairy-tales-are-talking-about-real_2877612.jpg)
