Re: I'm looking for quotes with a certain theme

[George Osner <gosner@ainet.com>]

A few:

"A Thaum is the basic unit of magical strength. It has been
universally established as
the amount of magic needed to create one small white pigeon or three
normal sized
billiard balls." - Terry Pratchett, The Light Fantastic

"People who used magic without knowing what they were doing
usually came to a
sticky end. All over the entire room, sometimes." - Terry Pratchett,
Moving Pictures
 
"Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook
magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men
mistake medicine for magic."  --Thomas Szasz

"Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in
government and business." --Tom Robbins

"Love and magic have a great deal in common. They enrich the soul,
delight the heart. And they both take practice." --Nora 
Roberts

You see things, and you say "Why?" But I dream things that
never were, and say "Why not?" -- George Bernard Shaw 

...looks like I should start a new topic :)
