Men willingly believe what they wish.

Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.

Superstitions are habits rather than beliefs.

There are times when reality becomes too complex for oral communication. But legend gives it a form by which it pervades the whole world.

Nothing is so easy to fake as the inner vision.

Any serious attempt to do anything worthwhile is ritualistic.

In the past, men created witches; now they create mental patients.

Appearances often are deceiving.

In the society of men, the truth resides now less in what things are than in what they are not. Our social realities are so ugly if seen in the light of exiled truth, and beauty is almost no longer possible if it is not a lie.

God is alive. Magic is afoot.

Nothing is so easy as to deceive one’s self; for what we wish, that we readily believe.

Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business.

I shall curse you with book and bell and candle.
