Quotes

We feel cold, but we don't mind it, because we will not come to harm.

It's worth being cold for that. Philip Pullman

As Auden is believed to have said, no poem saved a single Jew from the gas chambers. Never mind. Write the poems anyway. Play the music in spite of that. Philip Pullman
No one, not even Shakespeare, surpasses Milton in his command of the sound, the music, the weight and taste and texture of English words. Philip Pullman
