Magic Spells

Famous quotes containing the words magic and/or spells:

    “Both magic and religion are based strictly on mythological tradition, and they also both exist in the atmosphere of the miraculous, in a constant revelation of their wonder-working power. They both are surrounded by taboos and observances which mark off their acts from those of the profane world.”
    —Bronislaw Malinowski (1884–1942)

    “Listen. The minstrels sing
    In the departed villages. The nightingale,
    Dust in the buried wood, flies on the grains of her wings
    And spells on the winds of the dead his winter’s tale.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
