More From Philip Pullman

There are only two worlds - your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy. worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. what is important is that they are there. these worlds provide an alternative. provide an escape. provide a threat. provide a dream, and power; provide refuge, and pain. they give your world meaning. they do not exist; and thus they are all that matters.
Dream Pain Real
There is nothing to be known about anything except an initially large, and forever expandable, web of relations to other things. everything that can serve as a term of relation can be dissolved into another set of relations, and so on for ever. there are, so to speak, relations all the way down, all the way up, and all the way out in every direction: you never reach something which is not just one more nexus of relations.
Forever Way Speak
And now good morrow to our waking souls, which watch not one another out of fear; for love, all love of other sights controls, and makes one little room, an everywhere. let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone, let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown, let us possess one world, each hath one, and is one.

The death agony of the barricade was about to begin.for, since the preceding evening, the two rows of houses in the rue de la chanvrerie had become two walls; ferocious walls, doors closed, windows closed, shutters closed. a house is an escarpment, a door is a refusal, a facade is a wall. this wall hears, sees and will not. it might open and save you. no. this wall is a judge. it gazes at you and condemns you. what dismal things are closed houses.
Wall Doors Agony
God in heaven holds each person by a string. when you sin, you cut the string. then god ties it up again. making a knot, bringing you a little closer to him. again and again your sins cut the string and with each knot god keeps drawing you closer and closer.

But when that smoking chowder came in, the mystery was delightfully explained. oh! sweet friends, hearken to me. it was made of small juicy clams, scarcely bigger than hazel nuts, mixed with pounded ship biscuits and salted pork cut up into little flakes! the whole enriched with butter, and plentifully seasoned with pepper and salt... we dispatched it with great expedition.
