Magic


A couple of great lines from G.K. Chesterton's play, Magic (which is now showing in DC):

On Fairyland:

Morris. "What's his name?"

Patricia. "We have no names there. You never really know anybody if you know his name."

...

Doctor.
[Putting his hand on Morris's shoulder.] "Come, you must allow a little more for poetry. We can't all feed on nothing but petrol."

...


Conjurer. "Fairy tales are the only democratic institutions. All the classes have heard all the fairy tales."
