Quote in Film Adaptation[edit]
In William Goldman's book Adventures in the Screen Trade (1983), he writes: "There is a very funny line, attributed to the late Peter Sellers, who was asked to answer the question "What would you change if you had your life to live over?" And Sellers replied, "I would do everything exactly the same except I wouldn't see The Magus.""
I would suggest Woody Allen is not the originator of the quote. Perhaps this can be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.6.112.69 (talk) 19:13, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
In the Wikipedia article about the film, the quote is attributed to Peter Sellers (citing William Goldman). In the Wikipedia article about the 1973 film of "Lost Horizon," the quote is attributed to Woody Allen, but as having been said about the 1973 film of "Lost Horizon." No attribution is given for the latter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.92.0.57 (talk) 18:02, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
Representation in Other Media: William S Burroughs “Cities of The Red Knight”[edit]
In chapter 7, “The Private Asshole”: “I noticed a worn copy of The Magus by John Fowles…” it’s significant to the plot of a major work by a major American author. Significant enough for inclusion? 74.90.100.243 (talk) 17:26, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
