„Magick is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will.“
— Aleister Crowley
„This new philosophy, however, was far from giving the temporal an inherent position and function in the constitution of things. Change was acting on the side of man but only because of fixed laws which governed the changes that take place. There was hope in change just because the laws that govern it do not change.“
— John Dewey
„The changing of bodies into light, and light into bodies, is very conformable to the course of Nature, which seems delighted with transmutations.“
— Isaac Newton
„The spectator experiences the phenomenon of transmutation; through the change from inert matter into a work of art, an actual transubstantiation has taken place... All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work into contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act.“
— Marcel Duchamp
„The book is a film that takes place in the mind of the reader. That's why we go to movies and say, "Oh, the book is better.“
— Paulo Coelho
