Famous quotes containing the words magical and/or materials:
“Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
