Famous quotes containing the words magic and/or items:
“Has the world ever been changed by anything save the thought and its magic vehicle the Word?”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“In ordinary speech the words perception and sensation tend to be used interchangeably, but the psychologist distinguishes. Sensations are the items of consciousness—a color, a weight, a texture—that we tend to think of as simple and single. Perceptions are complex affairs that embrace sensation together with other, associated or revived contents of the mind, including emotions.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
