“Life is a combination of magic and pasta.”
“I believe that the combination of pencil and memory creates a kind of practical magic, and magic is dangerous.”
“PASTA!!”
“make pasta, not war.”
“Why certainly, words possess power. They do! But releasing their magic requires combining and arranging those words in the right order.”
“The Arcade, and now Peabody's, combined to tell me that there was life in objects, in books. It was all about having eyes to see the true meaning of things. As Pike proved daily, books held a kind of magic, an apparent as well as a hidden value.”
