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.

Any serious attempt to do anything worthwhile is ritualistic.

The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of all true art and science.

God is alive. Magic is afoot.

Nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind.

Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one’s bath like a lump of sugar.

The mind is led on, step by step, to defeat its own logic.

To blow and to swallow at the same time is not easy; I cannot at the same time be here and also there.

Many are the wonders of the world, and none so wonderful as man.

All things are filled full of signs, and it is a wise man who can learn about one thing from another.

Man is always a wizard to man, and the social world is at first magical.

Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.

Nothing is so easy to fake as the inner vision.
