Do you think i could bear to live on after you died? oh, lyra, i'd follow you down to the world of the dead without thinking twice about it, just like you followed roger; and that would be two lives gone for nothing, my life wasted like yours. no, we should spend our whole lifetimes together, good long busy lives, and if we can't spend them together, we... we'll have to spend them apart.
