And that's what I don't like about magic, Captain. 'cos it's *magic*. You can't ask questions, it's magic. It doesn't explain anything, it's magic. You don't know where it comes from, it's magic! That's what I don't like about magic, it does everything by magic!

Terry Pratchett
About This Quote

Ever since he was a child, Charlie Bucket was fascinated by the magic in his neighborhood candy shop. He loved eating the candies and he wanted to know how they were made. But no matter how much he asked, all the owner of the Sweet Shop would say is "It's magic!" How could you explain something if you can't even say what it is? That's why Charlie Bucket was so frustrated with the fact that he couldn't understand the source of this magic. And that's what I don't like about magic, Captain.

'cos it's *magic*. You can't ask questions...The answer is always magic! It doesn't explain anything...The answer can never be explained! You don't know where it comes from...It comes from nowhere! That's what I don't like about magic, it does everything by magic!
