Magic Window

Famous quotes containing the words magic and/or window:

    The Prospero of poisons, the Faustus of the front,
    bringing mental magic to modern armament.
    Tony Harrison (b. 1953)

    If a man was tossed out of a window when an infant, and so made a cripple for life, or scared out of his wits by the Indians, it is regretted chiefly because he was thus incapacitated for—business! I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself, than this incessant business.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
