Week of May 16th 2005:
"And the man creeping away and the six or seven others who were the only remenant of the Guard, and who hadn't dared cone any closer to the man holding the revine, were engulfed by the fire that fell on them.
Lee saw the fireball and heard through the roar in his ears Hester saying, 'That's all of 'em Lee."
He said, or thought, 'Those poor men didn't have to come to this, nor did we."
She [his deamon Hester] said, 'We held 'em off. We held out. We're a-helping Lyra."
Then she was pressing her little pround broken self against his face, as close as she could get , and then they died."
The Week of April 17th 2005:
"Are we dead now?" Will asked the boatman.
"Makes no difference," he said. "There's some that came here never believing they were dead. They insisted all the way that they were alive, it was a mistake, someone would have to pay; made no difference. There's others who longed to be dead when they were alive, poor souls; lives full of pain and misery; killed themselves for a chance of a blessed rest, and found that nothing had changed except for the worse, and this time there was no escape; you can't make yourself alive again..."
- The Amber Spyglass

very good quote; i liked how TAS was structured in the beginning, splitting between the real world and Lyra's dream. 3nodding
um... i got a quote!
" "And we'd be alone. Iorek Byrnison couldn't follow us and help. Nor could Farder Coram or Serafina Pekkala, or Lee Scoresby or no one." (Lyra)
"Just us, then. Don't matter. We're not alone, anyway; not like....." (Pan)
She knew he meant not like Tony Makarios; not like those poor lost daemons at Bolvangar; we're still one being; both of us are one. "
~The Golden Compass

I like Kitties quote because it's one of the many hidden political commentaries in the book. It's true though, death doesn't seem to choose by anything in particular. It is for those reasons that I am hesitant to give it any kind of sentient attributes. And this quote describes it so well, as well as the hidden futility of suicide - the consequences of which I think very few suicidal people really consider.

I like the part after the witch kills Will's father where she says that she loved him and that was enough but I can't remember the quote itself confused
