Science, my dears, is the systematic dissection of nature, to reduce it to working parts that more or less obey universal laws. Sorcery moves in the opposite direction. It doesn't rend, it repairs.

The Wicked Years Complete Collection: Wicked, Son of a Witch, A Lion Among Men, and Out of Oz, p.130, Harper Collins
