Author of quotes: Christopher Priest

It's clear to me. You with this Borden - like a couple of lovers who are together not to get along.

... it is easier to deceive the most enlightened spectators. Their education shield them from the simplicity of focus.

The main rule of magic is immutable: what is seen and what is done are two different things.

Magicians protect their secrets not because the secrets are significant and original, but because they are minor and trivial. Striking scenic effects often achieved as a result of these ridiculous tricks that the magician is just ashamed to admit it, how he does it.

... real memories - a mixture of consciously stored in the memory of random facts and experiences, which are memorable by themselves. Strange, irrelevant little things settle in my head for years, while notable dates and events of the past sometimes lost among unthinkable nonsense. Snatches of forgotten melodies, old jokes, children's games, unexpectedly float to the surface of consciousness, and the results of some important meetings can be forgotten in just a few months.

I was confused about the unusual use of the word "glamour". Usually people use it in the sense of "charm", "charm", "chic"... Mrs. Quail explained that it was an ancient word migrated to English from Scottish and had long ago lost the original meaning. Originally, the word "glamour", or rather "glammer" called special "charms", a magical spell. When the young Scotsman fell in love, he went to the old village witch, and that for a fee could cast a spell of invisibility on his beloved to protect her from the attentions of other men. Once under gammera, the girl was glamorous invisible to prying eyes.

Striving continually to rewrite itself, to come up with a way for us and others is present in each. Secretly, we always hope that our true self remains hidden from outsiders.

Invisibility is the lack of belief in themselves, a kind of failure of personality.

Women first notice women, just like men. The child observes children before adults. There are women who notice first children and then adults. Most men see women before children and only then start to notice other men. There is a hierarchy of visual perception. In any group of people someone always notice in the last turn.

Not one of us who wants to appear. Meeting with other people, we are trying to impose a certain image of ourselves, hoping that he will be pleasant or somehow influence them.

Giving vent to grief, they will be healed from grief.

There is no revenge sweeter than to beat the enemy with his own weapons, to avoid at all costs to leave behind.

If two lives to merge into one, each of them will be halved.

The truth is better than another lie.
