Ticker's quote about Gara/stories in general is a reference to a quote from G.K. Chesteron:

"Fairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey. What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon."

This quote is also paraphrased at the beginning of Coraline (the book):

"Fairy tales are more than true – not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten."

Just another reason I adore the developers and this absolutely beautiful character. <3
