Everything that deceives does so by casting a spell.

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

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

Nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind.

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.

I shall curse you with book and bell and candle.

A miracle entails a degree of irrationality—not because it shocks reason, but because it makes no appeal to it.

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.

Have you ever, looking up, seen a cloud like to a centaur, a leopard, a wolf, or a bull?

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

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

Nothing from nothing ever yet was born.

God is alive. Magic is afoot.
