Philip Pullman Quote
Lyra at eighteen sitting intent and absorbed in Duke Humfrey’s Library with the alethiometer and a pile of leather-bound books. Tucking the hair back behind her ears, pencil in mouth, finger moving down a list of symbols, Pantalaimon holding the stiff old pages open for her … Look, Pan, there’s a pattern there—see? That’s why they’re in that sequence! And it felt as if the sun had come out. It was the second thing she said to Will next day in the Botanic Garden.
