Magic, Mystery, Miracles

Magic:
"I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic!"
--Blanche DuBois from A Streetcar Named Desire

Mystery:

Philip Henslowe: Mr. Fennyman, allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.
Hugh Fennyman: So what do we do?
Philip Henslowe: Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well.
Hugh Fennyman: How?
Philip Henslowe: I don't know. It's a mystery!

--From Shakespeare in Love

Miracles :
"There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle."
--Albert Einstein

Do you believe?
