Of course there must be lots of Magic in the world, " he said wisely one day, "but people don't know what it is like or how to make it. Perhaps the beginning is just to say nice things are going to happen until you make them happen. I am going to try and experiment. Frances Hodgson Burnett
About This Quote

The author of this quote, John Lilly, is referring to the power of positive thinking. People often think of the world as a place filled with negativity -- where things go wrong and people fail. Lilly's idea is that there is so much magic in this world that people don't know about. If you were to point out some magic, people would not be able to describe it.

Magic is like that -- magic is something that cannot be explained or understood unless you experience it yourself. A person needs to see it happen before they will believe it can happen. They must witness the magic first before it becomes something they can talk about.
