Realm of magic

Words have ruined more souls than any devil’s agency.

It is strange that the word,
    which is a chief ingredient of human uniqueness,
        should also be a chief instrument of its dehumanization.

The realm of magic is the realm of the invisible
    and the domain of the word.

                            Eric Hoffer, New York Times 1971
