We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of disociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Re: First Law of Magic
law (n.)
Old English lagu (plural laga, comb. form lah-) "law, ordinance, rule, regulation; district governed by the same laws," from Old Norse *lagu "law," collective plural of lag "layer, measure, stroke," lit. "something laid down or fixed," from P.Gmc. *lagan "put, lay" (see lay (v.)). Replaced Old English æ and gesetnes, which had the same sense development as law. Cf. also statute, from Latin statuere; German Gesetz "law," from Old High German gisatzida; Lithuanian istatymas, from istatyti "set up, establish." In physics, from 1660s. Law and order have been coupled since 1796.

Re: First Law of Magic
I answered from me.Not a quote.
So,the two quotes statement confuses me too.
Thanks for the etymology of the word Law,but context is everything and in my opinion,the response I gave is perfectly valid,given the scope of this part of the question,as quoted from your OP,below:

Dude, Dr Seuss has a ton of knowledge...no reason not to quote Dr SeussThe Cove wrote:Stop quoting Dr. Seuss people!!!
*Incidently I wonder if any Chaos magickians have used any Seuss characters? Everybody reads "The Cat in the Hat" and "Green Eggs and Ham," I bet they'd hold a bit of power.
