I am having my web site designed and need a quote for the opening page. I know there is a quote about magic from Albert Einstein but I can't seem to find it. There's also the famous quote "for those who believe no explanation is necessary" but I don't recall who said it. Does anyone have any other quotes about magic that are interesting?

thanks

"The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper."
-Eden Phillpotts

"The entire sum of existence is the magic of being needed by just one other person."
-Vi Putnam

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a persistent one.
-Albert Einstein

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious."
-Albert Einstein

"For those who believe, no explanation is necessary, For those who don't believe, no explanation is possible."
This quote is attributed to a Catholic Priest named Father Roman Bunda. It has been used as a Christian saying usually in reference to miracles.

This quote was also used by Dunninger.

The quote is just slightly off. It's actually "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." And it was Clarke's Third Law from the book "Profiles of the Future: An Inquiry into the Limits of the Possible" in which he stated his three laws.

Cheers,
-Matt (TK)

PS- I too always thought that to be a Dunninger quote from one of his old radio broadcasts. How interesting to find out that it's not. Smile

Yep, even Dunninger borrowed material...
