Magic

Famous quotes containing the word magic:

    Do you come to a philosopher as to a cunning man, to learn something by magic or witchcraft, beyond what can be known by common prudence and discretion?
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    There is no magic decoding ring that will help us read our young adolescent’s feelings. Rather, what we need to do is hold out our antennae in the hope that we’ll pick up the right signals.
    —The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, III, ch.4 (1985)

    a flying open of doors, convergence
    of magic objects into
    feathered hands and crested heads, a prospect
    of winter verve, a buildup to abundance.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
