“It is so easy for your people to forget that everything has a spirit, that all are equal. That magic and mystery are a part of your lives, not something to store away in a child's bedroom, or to use as an escape from your lives.” PeopleChildrenUseSpiritSpiritualityEasyForgetMagicMysteryEqualStoresBedroom Book:The Onion Girl Source: The Onion Girl

“What I love most about playing in front of people has something to do with a certain kind of energy exchange. The attention and appreciation of my audience feeds back into my playing. It really seems as if there is a true and equal give and take between performer and listener, making me aware of how much I depend on my audience. And since the audience is different every night, the music being played will differ too. Every space I performed in has its own magic and spirit.” PeopleIfsGivingKindDifferentSeemsSpiritNightCertainEnergySpaceAttentionAudienceMagicFrontsDependsEqualMusic IsAppreciationPerformersEvery NightListenersGive And TakeBeing Played Author:Nils Frahm
“Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love. Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly helpless before love. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king.” MenWorldHas BeensWholeBodyEarthSpiritNationsBrainMillionsMagicKingsArmyConquerHelplessBeggarChainedMagic Powers Book:Anarchism and Other Essays Source: Anarchism and Other Essays

“And you who sought for magic in your youth but desire it not in your age, know that there is a blindness of spirit which comes from age, more black than the blindness of eye, making a darkness about you across which nothing may be seen, or felt, or known, or in any way apprehended.” KnowsWayMayEyeAgeSpiritDesireFeltBlackKnownDarknessMagicYouthBlindness Author:Lord Dunsany
“The Web is cool, but the library is magic. Where else can the spirit of generations of writers stir your soul? So many writers talk about libraries setting them on their magical paths, it's almost a groaner. But we know it's true. Wander through the stacks and you can feel the dreams, the unique worlds bubbling within each volume. The magic enters you as if by osmosis. On the Web, you may feel clever, lucky and driven to download--but rarely inspired to dream and to write.” IfsKnowsWorldFeelsWritingMaySoulDreamSpiritPathGenerationsMagicLuckyUniqueInspiredLibraryDrivenCleverSettingSettingsWanderYour SoulVolumeDownloadsOsmosis Author:Arthur Plotnik

“There's also the tradition of voodoo, the Haitian magic arts, in New Orleans. And because New Orleans is below sea level, when they bury people in New Orleans, it's mostly above ground. So you have this idea that the spirits are more accessible and can access you more easily because they're not even buried.” PeopleArtIdeasSpiritLevelsMagicSeaTraditionAccessBuriedNew OrleansVoodooHaitian Author:Sam Trammell
