Eliot’s Best Quote In The Magicians Defined the Entire Series

I’ve always been struck by how The Magicians doesn’t shy away from the darker side of things, even with all the magic and a fantastical world that feels a bit like Narnia. It’s not all fun and games with talking animals! What really gets to me is that every character is deeply marked by tragedy, and that pain actually fuels their magic. There’s a quote from Eliot in season two that really sums it up – it perfectly captures how heavy and complicated magic is in this world.
