So far as our ideal impulses originate in this region (and most of them do originate in it, for we find them possessing us in a way for which we cannot articulately account), we belong to it in a more intimate sense than that in which we belong to the visible world, for we belong in the most intimate sense wherever our ideals belong." William James

"One man’s "magic" is another man’s engineering. "Supernatural" is a null word." - Robert A. Heinlein
