About This Quote

Knowledge is not magic. It’s not the ability to conjure up fire from nothing, nor is it the ability to move objects without touching them. Knowledge is something that can be gained by reading books, watching television, or talking with people. The only difference between knowledge and magic is that magic has no real world application.
