Dark Quote by Philip Pullman
““Well, this is a mystery,” said Farder Coram, “and I’m glad I lived long enough to see it. To go into the dark of death is a thing we all fear, say what we like, we fear it. But if there’s a way out for that part of us that has to go down there, then it makes my heart lighter.””
