Paris presents one incessant round of amusement & dissipation but very little, I believe - even for its inhabitants of that society - which interests the heart. Every day, you may see something new, magnificent & beautiful; every night, you may see a spectacle which astonishes & enchants the imagination.

American Judge

Kenneth Langone

Nothing so enchants attorneys general, their eyes generally fixed on higher public office, as slinging accusations against successful financial executives. Preening press conferences and fawning media coverage are virtually guaranteed, whether or not the charges have substance.

Russia! Russia... Everything in you is open, desolate and level; your squat towns barely protrude in the midst of the plains like dots, like counters; there is nothing to tempt or enchant the onlooker's gaze. But what is this inscrutable, mysterious force that draws me to you?

Russian Writer

Kate Klise

Writing for children isn't easy. Kids will abandon a story that doesn't interest, enchant, delight, thrill, or terrify them. But when you can find a way into a young reader's imagination through something as simple as words on paper, well, there's nothing more satisfying.

American Author

Ravi Zacharias

Wonder is that possession of the mind that enchants the emotions while never surrendering reason. It is a grasp on reality that does not need constant high points in order to be maintained, nor is it made vulnerable by the low points of life's struggle.

Andrea Bocelli

What is beautiful enchants me. I mean not just physical beauty but a wider concept of beauty. There is beauty in poetry and in great musical or singing performances. There is beauty everywhere if you can just see it.

Folk tales are my favourite form of story telling. They not only just adjust the reader according to the world it is introducing the reader to, but also enchant the reader with its mysterious and magical characters.

The thing that enchants me the most is the ability women have to feel other people's pain. The total empathy that women have is extraordinary.

American Actor

Guy Kawasaki

When you enchant people, your goal is not to make money from them or to get them to do what you want, but to fill them with great delight.

Philip Pullman

The function of a book or a poem or a story is to delight, to enchant, to beguile.

British Writer

'Enchant' often describes feeling delighted by something charming or special in a very positive way.

Positive Feelings

Using 'enchant' implies someone's focus is completely captured, as if by a magical force.

Attention Captured

'Enchant' is often metaphorical, not meaning actual magic, but a figurative spell of charm.

Not Literal Magic

'Enchant' in this sense refers to actual magic or spells in fairy tales and fantasy stories.

Literal Magic

This definition is more common in historical, mythical, or fantasy settings, not modern ones.

Understanding the cultural background of witches, wizards, and magic can help comprehend this use.
