If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

You've probably heard about the theory of steam-engine time - that even after the steam engine had been invented, it had to wait until people were ready to make use of it. the same thing happens in literary circles. the truth is, i'm not terribly interested in victorian times; i'm interested in victorian writers. i'm interested in most eras of history, but not the victorian era especially. i was interested in the john franklin expedition. i was interested in these last five weird years of dickens' life. and i just have to take the age that comes with all that when i write about it.

Most people would rather change their circumstances to improve their lives when instead they need to change themselves to improve their circumstances. they put in just enough effort to distance themselves from their problems without ever trying to go after the root, which can often be found in themselves. because they don't try to change the source of their problems, their problems keep coming back at them.

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.

When you feel neglected, think of the female salmon, who lays 3,000,000 eggs but no one remembers her on mother's day.

Grown people know that they do not always know the way of things, and even if they think they know, they do not know where and how they got the proof.
