Magic Flute

Famous quotes containing the words magic and/or flute:

“Both magic and religion are based strictly on mythological tradition, and they also both exist in the atmosphere of the miraculous, in a constant revelation of their wonder-working power. They both are surrounded by taboos and observances which mark off their acts from those of the profane world.”
—Bronislaw Malinowski (1884–1942)

“blow as he would, though it made a great noise,
The flute would play only ‘The Protestant Boys’.”
