More From Philip Pullman

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. opportunities! every life is full of them. every newspaper article is an opportunity. every client is an opportunity. every sermon is an opportunity. every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.
Opportunity Mind Clients
Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core. rome'll decline and fall again, cortés'll lay tenochtitlán to waste again, and later, ewing will sail again, adrian'll be blown to pieces again, you and i'll sleep under the corsican stars again, i'll come to bruges again, fall in and out of love with eva again, you'll read this letter again, the sun'll grow cold again. nietzsche's gramophone record. when it ends, the old one plays it again, for an eternity of eternities.

Opportunity shies away from need, but opportunity is attracted by talent and ability. what you don't want to happen is opportunity to turn cool on you. you don't want to offend opportunity. so the only thing you present to opportunity is ability, performance and skill. don't present need to opportunity.
Life Motivational Opportunity
Suddenly it wasn't only a personal thing to me. i could picture hundreds and hundreds of boys living on the wrong sides of cities, boys with black eyes who jumped at their own shadows. hundreds of boys who maybe watched sunsets and looked at stars and ached for something better. i could see boys going down under street lights because they were mean and tough and hated the world, and it was too late to tell them that there was still good in it, and they wouldn't believe you if you did.

I can't find the compulsory mutilation of the genitals of children a subject for humor... it's designed to repress sexual pleasure... the full excision, not just the snip but the full mandatory covenant is fantastically painful, leads to trauma, leads to the dulling of the sexual relationship. and can be, in itself life-threatening at that moment. we have records, i can show them to you, of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds in the united states of boy babies who died or had life-threatening infections as a result of this disgusting practice.

What is opportunity, and when does it knock? it never knocks. you can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking. none at all. you are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. you prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live - with your self-respect alive and growing.

I put everything i had into it - all my feelings and everything i'd learned in 46 years of living, about family life and fathers and children. and my feelings about racial justice and inequality and opportunity.

If you never heard opportunity knock, maybe you're never at home.
Home Opportunity Heard
Even government by the consent of the governed, as in our own constitution, must be limited in its power to act against its people; so that there may be no interference with the right to worship, or with the security of the home; no arbitrary imposition of pains or penalties by officials high or low; no restrictions on the freedom of men to seek education or work or opportunity of any kind, so that each man may become all he is capable of becoming.
Pain Home Opportunity
The universe does not judge us; it only provides consequences and lessons and opportunities to balance and learn through the law of cause and effect. compassion is the recognition that we are each doing the best we can within the limits of our current beliefs and capacities.
