More quotes by Philip Pullman
All the history of human life has been a struggle between wisdom and stupidity.
Philip Pullman
I seemed to have spent the whole time either reading, which I loved, or laughing, which I love, or fooling about, which I loved. There was the usual teenage angst: Nobody understands me and I'm the only genius in the world and all that stuff. But that didn't get very deep.
Philip Pullman
Men pass in front of our eyes like butterflies, creatures of a brief season. We love them they are brave, proud, beautiful, and clever.
Philip Pullman
When he'd sworn at her and been sworn at in return, they became great friends.
Philip Pullman
I will love you for ever, whatever happens. Till I die and after I die, and when I find my way out of the land of the dead I'll drift about forever, all my atoms, till I find you again.
Philip Pullman
When you choose one way out of many, all the ways you don't take are snuffed out like candles, as if they'd never existed.
Philip Pullman
I have stolen ideas from every book I have ever read.
Philip Pullman

Philip Pullman

Philip Pullman
True education flowers at the point when delight falls in love with responsibility.
Philip Pullman
You'll drift apart, it's true, but you'll be out in the open, part of everything alive again.
Philip Pullman
We need to ensure that children are not forced to waste their time on barren rubbish.
Philip Pullman
...because where we are is always the most important place.
Philip Pullman
Argue with anything else, but don't argue with your own nature.
Philip Pullman
I'm perfectly happy about being superstitious and atheistic.
Philip Pullman
Do not lie to the Scholar.
Philip Pullman
Tell them stories. They need the truth you must tell them true stories, and everything will be well, just tell them stories.
Philip Pullman
The Lord of the Rings' is fundamentally an infantile work. Tolkien is not interested in the way grownup, adult human beings interact with each other. He's interested in maps and plans and languages and codes.
Philip Pullman
Thou Shalt Not is soon forgotten, but Once Upon a Time is forever.
Philip Pullman
Tell him, we are not devils but we have friends who are.
Philip Pullman
