“Religious teachings and teachers have conditioned us to think of faith as a magic catalyst that makes God work for us. In no way does faith make God work nor does it release some kind of miracle power. Faith simply tunes into and turns on the divine flow that has always been present” ThinkingWayKindDoeTurnsReligiousTeacherMagicTeachingDivineFlowMiracleReleaseTunesCatalystTeachers And Teaching Author:Eric Butterworth

“I didn't really know much about the Houdinis when I started. As soon as they sent me the script, I wanted to find out everything I could about Bess. Luckily, I have a really wonderful friend named Michael Mitnick, who's a writer. He was a magician as a child, and that led him to the theater, which led to drama school, and he writes films now. Magic was really his thing, growing up, so he put me in touch with his magic teacher who is a real Houdini expert.” KnowsWritingChildrenRealWantedSchoolFilmGrowing UpTeacherGrowingWonderfulMagicDramaTheaterScriptsExpertsMagicianWonderful FriendsHoudini Author:Kristen Connolly

“I would ask the people who were generous toward my own work. After class one day a poetry professor said to me, "Hey, there's this guy Basho you would find interesting," and so I found Basho. A fiction teacher told me, "You ought to read Clarice Lispector if you're interested in that sort of in-between stuff," and then Lispector appeared. It's not magic.
