"Symbols and emblems were everywhere. Buildings and pictures……" — Philip Pullman

"Symbols and emblems were everywhere. Buildings and pictures were designed to be read like books. Everything stood for something else; if you had the right dictionary, you could read Nature itself. It was hardly surprising to find philosophers using the symbolism of their time to interpret knowledge that came from a mysterious source."

— Philip Pullman
