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

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

Nothing is so easy to fake as the inner vision.

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

Egypt was the mother of magicians.

Men willingly believe what they wish.

There is nothing that man fears more than the touch of the unknown. He wants to see what is reaching toward him and to be able to recognize or at least classify it. Man always tends to avoid physical contact with anything strange.

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

Superstitions are habits rather than beliefs.

Once something becomes discernible, or understandable, we no longer need to repeat it. We can destroy it.

The fact is certain because it is impossible.

Nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind.

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