Quotable Quotes:

"By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out."

"Magic is the art of creating false (but funny or beautiful) cause-and-effect relationships. That's our area of expertise. When we do it on a stage, the audience is fooled, but only for the moment, only in the theater. They know they're watching a show. They know it's all tricks. They do not go home and try to float in the air or catch bullets in their teeth. [But] When we see scam artists peddling false cause-and-effect as reality; when we see the tools of theater and poetry used to victimize the vulnerable; when we sick people submitting to "medical procedures" that belong in a Three Stooges movie; all this enrages us." (IMDB)

"One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than 50 preaching it."

"Hatred does not cease through hatred at any time. Hatred ceases through love. This is an unalterable law."

"Mr Teller left us behind with a much-needed reminder that there are still some beautiful and tragically loving moments in life. (V)"
