“I am mistress of all the sciences. I go so far beyond all else that my work is called magic.”

Context: "I am mistress of all the sciences. I go so far beyond all else that my work is called magic. I manipulate noumena, regarding monads as points of entry tangential to hylomorphism. As to the paradox of Primary Essence being contained in Quiddity, the larger in the smaller, I have my own solution. The difficulty is always in not confusing Contingency with Accidence. Do you understand me?"

Zooey Deschanel (1980) American actress, musician, and singer-songwriter
As quoted in "On Record : Zooey Deschanel of She & Him" at American Songwriter (18 March 2010).
