Karla’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for La Belle Sauvage (The Book of Dust, #1)
La Belle Sauvage (The Book of Dust, #1) by Philip Pullman
1 highlight
This is a deep and uncomfortable paradox, which will not have escaped you: we can only defend democracy by being undemocratic. Every secret service knows this paradox. Some are more comfortable with it than others.”
