Philip Pullman Quote

Was I wrong? Yes, of course. But you had no choice. I must have. No, you had to do it. If you hadn’t done it, you’d have felt feeble. It shouldn’t be about how we feel—guilty, feeble— No, and it isn’t. It’s about wrong and less wrong. Bad and less bad. This is about as good a cover as anyone could find. Leave it at that.
