“... If the dead can come back to this earth and move unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you; in the garish day and in the darkest night—amidst your happiest scenes and gloomiest hours—always, always; and if there be a soft breeze upon your cheek, it shall be my breath; or if the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by.”
― Paul Hoffman, The Left Hand of God

“All dust is the same dust.
Temporarily separated
To go peacefully
And enjoy the eternal nap.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, Circling: 1978-1987

“Lyra had never seen such a sight, never heard such a bellow; it was like a mountain laughing.”
― Philip Pullman, The Golden Compass

“The idea hovered and shimmered delicately, like a soap bubble, and she dared not even look at it directly in case it burst. But she was familiar with the way of ideas, and she let it shimmer, looking away, thinking about something else.”
― Philip Pullman, The Golden Compass
