Nothing from nothing ever yet was born.

Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear.

Nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind.

There are times when reality becomes too complex for oral communication. But legend gives it a form by which it pervades the whole world.

In the past, men created witches; now they create mental patients.

Many are the wonders of the world, and none so wonderful as man.

Appearances often are deceiving.

On no other stage are the scenes shifted with a swiftness so like magic as on the great stage of history when once the hour strikes.

Everything that deceives does so by casting a spell.

Man is always a wizard to man, and the social world is at first magical.

The mind is led on, step by step, to defeat its own logic.

There is nothing that man fears more than the touch of the unknown. He wants to see what is reaching toward him and to be able to recognize or at least classify it. Man always tends to avoid physical contact with anything strange.

Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business.
