long as there's you,
long as there's me,
long as the best things in life are free,
i say it's spinach and the hell with it,
the hell with it,
that's all.

We don't need lists of rights and wrongs,
tables of do's and don'ts:
we need books, time, and silence.
'Thou shalt not' is soon forgotten,
but 'Once upon a time' lasts forever.
— Philip Pullman
When asked why he tries to pack such sophisticated ideas
into children's fantasy literature, Philip Pullman said,
"There are some themes, some subjects,
too large for adult fiction;
they can only be dealt with adequately in a children's book."
If I Were in Charge of the World
My only advice is
so obvious and trite,
that I hesitate to say it, but I will.
Always question authority.
