“I confess I do not believe in time. I like to fold my magic carpet, after use, in such a way as to superimpose one part of the pattern upon another. Let visitors trip. And the highest enjoyment of timelessness―in a landscape selected at random―is when I stand among rare butterflies and their food plants. This is ecstasy, and behind the ecstasy is something else, which is hard to explain. It is like a momentary vacuum into which rushes all that I love. A sense of oneness with sun and stone. A thrill of gratitude to whom it may concern―to the contrapuntal genius of human fate or to tender ghosts humoring a lucky mortal.”
― Vladimir Nabokov

“The letter we all love to receive is one that carries so much of the writer’s personality that she seems to be sitting beside us, looking at us directly and talking just as she really would, could she have come on a magic carpet, instead of sending her proxy in ink-made characters on mere paper.”
― Emily Post

“O most excellent of carpets," he said, "O brightest-colored and most delicately woven, whose lovely textile is so cunningly enhanced with magic, I fear I have not treated you hitherto with proper respect. I have snapped commands and even shouted at you, where I now see that your gentle nature requires only the mildest of requests. Forgive, oh, forgive!”
― Diana Wynne Jones

“Don't need a magic carpet to soar or wings to fly. I simply close my eyes and place my soul against the sky.”
― Melody Lee, Moon Gypsy

“Unravel my magic carpet. Shake the gold dust from my trips to the sun & take it for a spin, to the center of your universe; Within.”

“Do you trust me?”
― Aladdin

“CALVIN:
Look, Hobbes, I got a magic carpet.

HOBBES:
What's so magic about it?

CALVIN:
Magic carpets FLY! You can ride them.

HOBBES:
Isn't this the rug from the hallway?

CALVIN:
Up, Rug!
Up! Up!

CALVIN:
Hey, Look!
It works!
Ok, rug, warp factor five.

HOBBES:
Is this legal?
Do you have your registration and proof of insurance?”
― Bill Watterson, Yukon Ho!

“Both Calvin and Hobbes are sitting on a carpet, a "magic carpet." They're riding in the sky, among the clouds.

CALVIN:
Hey, let's fly into the city and buzz Dad's office.

CALVIN:
Ha! Won't he be surprised whenhe sees US out his 20th-floor window.

HOBBES:
What if he's mad that we took the hallway rug?

CALVIN:
What's to get mad about?" We wiped our feet first.

HOBBES:
Yeah, but all this city mileage may hurt the resale value.”
― Bill Watterson

“You can overcome your obstacles, just use them as your magic carpet and ride to success.”
― Hopal Green

“Paris was darker than London: it was a city lit in blinks and flickers. And it was Fabergé egg beautiful, she thought. It was magic carpet stuff.”

“Jasmine crossed the room to the balcony and opened the doors to find Aladdin floating in midair behind the railing, a mischievous grin on his face.
"Look who came back," he said, before soaring above her on a large Persian carpet woven in an intricate pattern of rich blues and gold.
"Magic Carpet!" Jasmine exclaimed. For a brief moment, her troubles faded from view as Carpet and Aladdin landed on the balcony beside her. Carpet bowed with a flourish, and Jasmine crouched down to hug the colorful fabric. It used its tassels to hug her back. "I thought you were with the Genie!"
"It seems the little fella knew we needed him," Aladdin said, handing Jasmine a folded piece of parchment from his vest pocket. The Genie's loopy blue handwriting filled the page:


Al and Jas,
Can you take this carpet off my hands? It's getting to be a real drag, just letting me walk all over it. (Ba-da-bum!)
For real, though, a little bird told me that you could use a pick-me-up. Since Carpet can literally take care of that, he's yours. Just save me a couple weeks a year for my annual World Carpet Tour, okay?
Good luck, kids, and know I'm always rooting for you,
G


Jasmine hugged the parchment to her chest.
"Thank you, Genie." She met Aladdin's eyes. "It's amazing, isn't it, how he always knows?"
"It must come with the all-powerful-greatness package.”
