Status Updates From Magia: Una comedia fantástica

SMITH It is much more marvellous to explain a miracle than to work a miracle. What was your explanation, by the way?
CONJURER I shall not tell you
SMITH Indeed? Why not?
CONJURER. Because God and the demons and that Immortal Mystery that you deny has been in this room to-night. Because you know it has been here. Because you have felt it here. Because you know the spirits as well as I do and fear them as much as I do

CONJURER: I am going to ask the God whose enemies I have served if I am still worthy to save a child.

Doctor: [Looking at him.] Do you believe in your own religion?

Smith: [Returning the look equally steadily.] Suppose I don't: I should still be a fool to question it. The child who doubts about Santa Claus has insomnia. The child who believes has a good night's rest.

CONJURER: You have already told me what he did. He destroyed a fairy tale, for he created a fairy tale that he was bound to destroy.

PATRICIA: I wish you were a thief instead.
STRANGER: Have I committed a worse crime than thieving?
PATRICIA: You have committed the cruellest crime, I think, that there is.
STRANGER: And what is the cruellest crime?
PATRICIA: Stealing a child's toy.
STRANGER: And what have I stolen?
PATRICIA: A fairy tale.

Up until now, I have found G K Chesterton to be an enjoyable author, however I am finding this play, very hard going.
