Text Quotes
I’m for open-mindedness and tolerance. I’m against any form of fanaticism, fundamentalism or zealotry, and this certainty of ‘We have the truth.’ The truth is far too large and complex. Nobody has the truth (Philip Pullman Quotes)
Being a practiced liar doesn’t mean you have a powerful imagination. Many good liars have no imagination at all; it’s that which gives their lies such wide-eyed conviction (Philip Pullman Quotes)
It’s only through honesty and courage that science can work at all. The Ptolemaic understanding of the solar system was undermined and corrected by the constant pressure of more and more honest reporting (Philip Pullman Quotes)
This is the value for me of writing books that children read. Children aren’t interested in your appalling self-consciousness. They want to know what happens next. They force you to tell a story (Philip Pullman Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Men pass in front of our eyes like butterflies, creatures of a brief season. We love them; they are brave, proud, beautiful, clever; and they die almost at once. They die so soon that our hearts are continually racked with pain. (Philip Pullman Quotes)
I’m with the Grimms on this: stories for young and old. You can’t characterize them any better than that. (Philip Pullman Quotes)
It’s not my business to remedy deaths! It’s my business to tell stories. Lyra and the other heroines didn’t come with placards saying, Make this a feminist story! I’m glad people enjoy seeing a female protagonist in a big adventure story, but I didn’t do it for political reasons. (Philip Pullman Quotes)
It’s like having to make a choice: a blessing or a curse. The one thing you can’t do is choose neither. (Philip Pullman Quotes)
The justice of it seems to children correct and right - I mean, we laugh at it! We underestimate children’s ability to know what is a story and what isn’t. (Philip Pullman Quotes)
Literary modernism kind of grew out of a sense that, Oh my god! I’m telling a story! Oh, that can’t be the case, because I’m a clever person. I’m a literary person! What am I going to do to distinguish myself? I know! I’ll write Ulysses. (Philip Pullman Quotes)
If there is a war to be fought, we don’t consider cost one of the factors in deciding whether or not to fight. (Philip Pullman Quotes)
I’m superstitious about the paper that I use, for example. I’ve written all my novels on a paper of a particular size with lines of a particular distance apart and with two holes in the paper for the folder clip. (Philip Pullman Quotes)
I don’t profess any religion; I don’t think it’s possible that there is a God.... My books are about killing God. (Philip Pullman Quotes)
What I do say is that I can write verse, and that the writing of verse in strict form is the best possible training for writing good prose. (Philip Pullman Quotes)
True education flowers at the point when delight falls in love with responsibility (Philip Pullman Quotes)
All things from the north are devilish (Philip Pullman Quotes)
After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world (Philip Pullman Quotes)
All the history of human life has been a struggle between wisdom and stupidity (Philip Pullman Quotes)
Was there only one world after all which spent its time dreaming of others? (Philip Pullman Quotes)
Children are not less intelligent than adults; what they are is less informed (Philip Pullman Quotes)
From what we are, spirit; from what we do, matter. Matter and spirit are one (Philip Pullman Quotes)
For that reason you can't write with music playing, and anyone who says he can is either writing badly, or not listening to the music, or lying. You need to hear what you're writing, and for that you need silence (Philip Pullman Quotes)
What I couldn't help noticing was that I learned more about the novel in a morning by trying to write a page of one than I'd learned in seven years or so of trying to write criticism (Philip Pullman Quotes)
For a long time I thought I was a poet, but that’s a high title to claim (Philip Pullman Quotes)
If you can’t think of what to write, tough luck; write anyway. If you can think of lots more when you’ve finished the three pages, don’t write it; it’ll be that much easier to get going next day (Philip Pullman Quotes)
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 Quotes)
That’s the duty of the old, to be anxious on behalf of the young. And the duty of the young is to scorn the anxiety of the old (Philip Pullman Quotes)
It does not make sense. It cannot exist. It’s impossible, and if it isn’t impossible, it’s irrelevant, and if it isn’t either of those things, it’s embarrassing (Philip Pullman Quotes)
I am a story teller. If I wanted to send a message I would have written a sermon (Philip Pullman Quotes)
