Quote by Philip Pullman

Both the Oblation Board and the Specters of Indifference are bewitched by this truth about human beings: that innocence is different from experience. The Oblation Board fears and hates Dust, and the Specters feast on it, but it's Dust both of them are obsessed by.

Love, love is like the future, you never know what you're go

Love, love is like the future, you never know what you're gonna get. I've learned to take love like I take life, one step at a time. We need love. Without love, our lives would be nothing, our lives would be as dull as a cardboard box. Love is what makes us strong, when everything else seems to be going wrong. Nothing can stop love from reaching us, not even a broken heart.
