Quote by Robert Louis Stevenson

Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a poor substitute for life.

Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a poor

Summary

This quote suggests that while books have their merits, they should not be relied upon as a complete replacement for real-life experiences. Books can offer knowledge, imagination, and different perspectives, but they cannot fully capture the depth and complexity of human existence. While books can teach us, entertain us, and inspire us, true understanding and growth come from actively engaging with the world around us and living our lives to the fullest.

In magic - and in life - there is only the present moment, the now. You can't measure time the way you measure the distance between two points. 'Time' doesn't pass. We human beings have enormous difficulty in focusing on the present; we're always thinking about what we did, about how we could have done it better, about the consequences of our actions, and about why we didn't act as we should have. Or else we think about the future, about what we're going to do tomorrow, what precautions we should take, what dangers await us around the next corner, how to avoid what we don't want and how to get what we have always dreamed of.

Debased men, but they all had something in common: They showed a keen regard for virtue, and tried to dress themselves in that costume. Hypocrisy, for all its bad reputation, at least showed a decent respect for goodness.

But I have ever thought religion a concern purely between our God and our consciences, for which we were accountable to him, and not to the priests. I never told my own religion, nor scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another's creed. I have ever judged of the religion of others by their lives, and by this test, my dear Madam, I have been satisfied yours must be an excellent one, to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be read. By the same test the world must judge me.
