10 Amazing Fantasy Writing Quotes

Hello everyone! Welcome to the first Writing Quote post. This is one of the many projects I wanted to try out this month. Every first Monday of the month, I’ll put up a list of quotes about writing, fantasy, science fiction, and more to inspire you all for the week. I hope you enjoy it!

1. “Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters; united with it, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of marvels.” – Francisco Goya

2. “We don’t create a fantasy world to escape reality. We create it to be able to stay.” – Lynda Barry

3. “Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape?. . . If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!” – J. R. R. Tolkien

4. “The best fantasy is written in the language of dreams. It is alive as dreams are alive, more real than real … for a moment at least … that long magic moment before we wake.” – George R. R. Martin

5. “Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It’s a way of understanding it.” – Lloyd Alexander

6. “When I turned to writing fantasy, and writing for young people, it was joyous. It was like discovering an underground lake of ideas that went on forever.” – Laini Taylor

7. “I love fantasy; I love imagination – that’s the inner child in me.” – Hannah John-Kamen

8. “Fantasy mirrors desire. Imagination reshapes it.” – Mason Cooley

9. “All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.” – Carl Jung

10. “There is art and beauty and power in the primal images of fantasy.” – Guillermo del Toro
