Philip Pullman
All good things pass away.
Philip Pullman
I'm with the Grimms on this: stories for young and old. You can't characterize them any better than that.
Philip Pullman
A story, to me, has a particular sprite, like the angel of the spirit of that story - and it's my job to attend to what it wants to do.
Philip Pullman
I am a story teller. If I wanted to send a message I would have written a sermon.
Philip Pullman
Men and women are moved by tides much fiercer than you can imagine, and they sweep us all up into the current.
Philip Pullman
When you live for many hundreds of years, you know that every opportunity will come again.
Philip Pullman
There’s been terrible things we seen, en’t there? And more a coming, more’n likely. So I think I’d rather not know what’s in the future. I’ll stick to the present.
Philip Pullman
There are some themes, some subjects, too large for adult fiction they can only be dealt with adequately in a children's book.
Philip Pullman
The idea hovered and shimmered delicately, like a soap bubble, and she dared not even look at it directly in case it burst. But she was familiar with the way of ideas, and she let it shimmer, looking away, thinking about something else.
Philip Pullman
Life is hard . . . but we cling to it all the same
