Magic Talent

Famous quotes containing the words magic and/or talent:

“Magic is akin to science in that it always has a definite aim intimately associated with human instincts, needs, and pursuits. The magic art is directed towards the attainment of practical aims. Like other arts and crafts, it is also governed by a theory, by a system of principles which dictate the manner in which the act has to be performed in order to be effective.”
—Bronislaw Malinowski (1984–1942)

“With one more talent one frequently stands with greater instability than with one less, as a table stands better on three legs than on four.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
