I shall curse you with book and bell and candle.

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

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

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.

Men willingly believe what they wish.

Nothing from nothing ever yet was born.

The fact is certain because it is impossible.

Nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind.

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

Any serious attempt to do anything worthwhile is ritualistic.

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

Curses are like young chickens, they always come home to roost.

On no other stage are the scenes shifted with a swiftness so like magic as on the great stage of history when once the hour strikes.
