Philip Pullman Quotes:
Ocupation: Film writer
Life: b. October 19, 1946
Birthday: October 19
Tolkien seems to me reactionary, conservative, fearful of a modern world. Fearful of anything that isn't sanctioned by the passage of long eons of time. I think what I'm doing in His Dark Materials is politically the reverse of that.
