Nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind.

God is alive. Magic is afoot.

Appearances often are deceiving.

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

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.

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.

Nothing from nothing ever yet was born.

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

One thing alone not even God can do: to make undone whatever has been done.

The fact is certain because it is impossible.

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

The fear of the Lord is true wisdom, and he who hath it not can in no way penetrate the true secrets of magic.
