Quote by Philip Pullman
We feel cold, but we don't mind it, because we will not come to harm. And if we wrapped up against the cold, we wouldn't feel other things, like the bright tingle of the stars, or the music of the aurora, or best of all the silky feeling of moonlight on our skin. It's worth being cold for that.
Summary
This quote suggests that despite the discomfort of feeling cold, it is a small price to pay for the unique and extraordinary experiences it allows us to have. By embracing the cold and not seeking to protect ourselves from it, we can fully appreciate the other sensations and wonders that exist in the world around us. The quote encourages us to value the moments of beauty and joy, such as the tingle of the stars or the silky touch of moonlight, even if it means enduring temporary discomfort.
