...there was another, gorier parturition, when two nations incarnated out of one. a foreigner drew a magic line on a map and called it the new border; it became a river of blood upon the earth. and the orchards, fields, factories, businesses, all on the wrong side of that line, vanished with a wave of the pale conjuror's wand.

...there Was Another, Gorier Parturition, When Two

...there was another, gorier parturition, when two nations incarnated out of one. a foreigner drew a magic line on a map and called it the new border; it became a river of blood upon the earth. and the orchards, fields, factories, businesses, all on the wrong side of that line, vanished with a wave of the pale conjuror's wand.

Let me offer you, metaphorically, two magic wands that have sweeping powers to change society. with one wand you could wipe out all racism and discrimination from the hearts and minds of white america. the other wand you could wave across the ghettoes and barrios of america and infuse the inhabitants with japanese or jewish values, respect for learning, and ambition. ... i suggest that the best wand for society and for those who live in the ghettoes and barrios would be the second wand.

I remember every wand i’ve ever sold, mr. potter. every single wand. it so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather is in your wand, gave another feather — just one other. it is very curious indeed that you should be destined for this wand when its brother — why, its brother gave you that scar.

I was born with the wrong sign in the wrong house with the wrong ascendancy i took the wrong road that led to the wrong tendencies i was in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme on the wrong day of the wrong week used the wrong method with the wrong technique wrong wrong.

If i may add, for instance, [martin luther] king and these others will say that they are fighting for the negro to have equal job opportunity. how can people, a group of people, such as our people, who own no factories, have equal job opportunities competing against the race that owns the factories?the only way the two can have equal job opportunities is if black people have factories as, as well as white people have factories.

I love borders. august is the border between summer and autumn; it is the most beautiful month i know. twilight is the border between day and night, and the shore is the border between sea and land. the border is longing: when both have fallen in love but still haven't said anything. the border is to be on the way. it is the way that is the most important thing.

And that's what i don't like about magic, captain. 'cos it's *magic*. you can't ask questions, it's magic. it doesn't explain anything, it's magic. you don't know where it comes from, it's magic! that's what i don't like about magic, it does everything by magic!

I'd just love magic. i'd love to be able to just click and transport. i'd be like a fairy little godmother, i think, going round hearing what people wish for and seeing what i could do for them.

The word is the magic that humans possess and misuse of the word is black magic... be impeccable with your word.

Unseen university was much bigger on the inside. thousands of years as the leading establishment of practical magic in a world where dimensions were largely a matter of chance in any case had left it bulging in places where it shouldn't have places. there were rooms containing rooms which, if you entered them, turned out to contain the room you'd started with, which can be a problem if you are in a conga line.

All our behaviours are a result of neurophysiological activity in the brain. there is no reason to believe there is any magic going on.
