Universes Quote by Phillip Pullman
““Here on this deck, millions of other universes exist unaware of one another..." He raised his wings and spread them wide before folding them again. "There," he said, "I have just brushed ten million other worlds, and they knew nothing of it. We are close as a heartbeat, but we can never touch or see or hear these other worlds...””
