“It was karma, it was kismet, it was magic. It doesn't matter how it happened, just that it did.”

“Just because you keep something a secret doesn't mean it never happened, no matter how much you want that to be true.”

“It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works.”

“In the end that was the choice you made, and it doesn't matter how hard it was to make it. It matters that you did.”

“But the truth of the matter is, to live a good life, as a good person, it doesn't matter how you got there. It just matters that you do.”

“Magic doesn't happen often — not once in a blue moon … I expect there isn't another magic ship like this one in the whole world.”

“In the end nobody knows how it's done — how art is made. It can't be explained. Optical devices are just tools. Understanding a tool doesn't explain the magic of creation. Nothing can.”

“Somehow, something always happens just before things get to the very worst. It is as if Magic did it. If I could only just remember that always. The worse thing never quite comes.”

“It doesn't matter how motivated students are; what matters is how students are motivated”

“Anyway, it doesn't matter how much, how often, or how closely you keep an eye on things because you can't control it. Sometimes things and people just go. Just like that.”
