It’s the oldest human problem, Lyra, an’ it’s the difference between good and evil. Evil can be unscrupulous, and good can’t. Evil has nothing to stop it doing what it wants, while good has one hand tied behind its back. To do the things it needs to do to win, it’d have to become evil to do ’em.”

ROSE:
I'm pretty sure I'm white. I'm English.
AUNT SHADIE:
White is blindness - it has nothing to do with the colour of your skin.”
