Magical Powers

Famous quotes containing the words magical and/or powers:

“Desire is creation, is the magical element in that process. If there were an instrument by which to measure desire, one could foretell achievement.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)

“A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate, disputant; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
