“...sometimes it's worth proposing the impossible, if only so that the somewhat less impossible begins to seem doable by comparison.”

“Magic is always impossible.... It begins with the impossible and ends with the impossible and is impossible in between. That is why it's magic.”

“…nothing seemed impossible in the beginning…”

“Only the impossible is worth doing.”

“So my antagonist said, "Is it impossible that there are flying saucers? Can you prove that it's impossible?" "No", I said, "I can't prove it's impossible. It's just very unlikely". At that he said, "You are very unscientific. If you can't prove it impossible then how can you say that it's unlikely?" But that is the way that is scientific. It is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible.”

“The idea is to get your life to where it is doable, manageable, and somewhat in order.”
