A while ago someone here started a thread for Joss quotes. I read some of it.. then it dissapeared from the top 100 discussions and it slipped off my radar.
However I'd like to find this thread as I am desperatly searching for a JossQuote about Fairy Tales and how 'we need them as they make our own stories less scary'.. or words to that effect.
If anyone knows where this thread is or recognises this quote TELL ME!
(updating my LJ w/ a story from BBC News and need some Joss to go w/ it. Story can be found.. here.

I'm pretty sure it was in the Talk Story forum. Check there.

Quote:
. David Lavery cites a recent interview with Joss Whedon, in which he said something similar:
'ultimately, stories come from violence, they come from sex. They come from death. They come from the dark places that everybody has to go to...If you raise a kid to think everything is sunshine and flowers, they’re going to get into the real world and die...That’s the reason fairy tales are so creepy, because we need to encapsulate these things, to inoculate ourselves against them, so that when we’re confronted by the genuine horror that is day-to-day life we don’t go insane" (Lavery, "A Religion in Narrative: Joss Whedon and Television Creativity."
