Sorcery

Alan Dean Foster Author

"Where lies the line between sorcery and science? It is only a matter of terminology, my friend."

Tom Robbins Novelist, Essayist

"Certain individual words do possess more pitch, more radiance, more shazam! than others, but it's the way words are juxtaposed with other words in a phrase or sentence that can create magic. Perhaps literally. The word "grammar," like its sister word "glamour," is actually derived from an old Scottish word that meant "sorcery." When we were made to diagram sentences in high school, we were unwittingly being instructed in syntax sorcery, in wizardry. We were all enrolled at Hogwarts. Who knew?"

George R. R. Martin Novelist, Screenwriter

"Sorcery is the sauce fools spoon over failure to hide the flavor of their own incompetence."

Thomas Jefferson Politician, Founding Father

"The plough is to the farmer what the wand is to the sorcerer. Its effect is really like sorcery."
