The old idea that words possess magical powers is false; but its falsity is the distortion of a very important truth. Words do have a magical effect - but not in the way that magicians supposed, and not on the objects they were trying to influence. Words are magical in the way they affect the minds of those who use them.

Aldous Huxley

You give anybody a billion dollars, and of course they are passionate. Passion is one of those things like willpower in that there's 'magical thinking' about it. You've got to be careful about 'magical thinking.'

Scott Adams

I love 'Exit West' by Mohsin Hamid. It's a magical realism retelling of the refugee experience, where people find these magical doors that transport them to another country.

Julien Baker

Things are not magical because they've been conjured for us by some outside force. They are magical because we create them.

David Levithan

I believe in magical things happening and spiritual goings on. Sometimes the most mundane things can surprise you and be magical.

Rae Morris

There are very few things in life I find that are as magical in person as you imagine them to be. Cannes was one of those experiences that held up to that magical essence. It's the epitome of class and elegance for the entertainment industry.

Gianna Simone

Often the magical elements in my books are standing in for elements of the real world, the small and magical-in-their-own-right sorts of things that we take for granted and no longer pay attention to, like the bonds of friendship that entwine our own lives with those of other people and places.
