"True education flowers at the point when delight falls in love with responsibility." ― Philip Pullman Topic(s): Education More From Philip Pullman "What I couldn’t help noticing was that I learned more about the novel in a morning by trying to write a page of one than I’d learned in seven years or so of trying to write criticism." "For that reason you can’t write with music playing, and anyone who says he can is either writing badly, or not listening to the music, or lying. You need to hear what you’re writing, and for that you need silence."

It should be, I bet that my Redeemer liveth."― Samuel Butler "Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue."― Plato
