Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or magic:
“Art thou some god, some angel, or some devil,
That mak’st my blood cold, and my hair to stare?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We think of religion as the symbolic expression of our highest moral ideals; we think of magic as a crude aggregate of superstitions. Religious belief seems to become mere superstitious credulity if we admit any relationship with magic. On the other hand our anthropological and ethnographical material makes it extremely difficult to separate the two fields.”
—Ernst Cassirer (1874–1945)
