“Bernard Shaw (I strongly suspect) began to disbelieve in Santa Claus at a discreditably early age.”
— G. K. Chesterton, George Bernard Shaw (1909), p. 157.
“They err who think Santa Claus enters through the chimney. He enters through the heart.”
— Charles W. Howard, quoted in Hollis Ricci-Canham & Andrew Canham. Legendary Locals of Orleans (2012), page 87
“To say there is no Santa Claus is the most erroneous statement in the world. Santa Claus is a thought that is passed from generation to generation. After time this thought takes on a human form. Maybe if all children and adults understand the symbolism of this thought we can actually attain Peace on Earth and good will to men everywhere.”
— Charles W. Howard, quoted in santaclausoath.webs.com
“I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.”
— Shirley Temple, as quoted in The New Penguin Dictionary of Modern Quotations by Robert Andrews
