  6. Philip Pullman _ Northern Lights

    Mira, cariño, a nadie le pasaría nunca por la cabeza hacer una operación a un niño sin someterlo antes a una prueba. ¡Y nadie soñaría siquiera en separar a un niño de su daimonion! La única cosa que se le hace es un pequeñísimo corte y a partir de aquel momento ya no hay otra cosa que felicidad. ¡Felicidad para siempre! Tu daimonion es para ti un amigo y un compañero maravilloso mientras eres joven pero, cuando llegas a a pubertad, una edad que ya estás a punto de alcanzar, los daimonions te transmiten una gran cantidad de pensamientos y de sentimientos muy desagradables y eso es precisamente lo que hace que el Polvo penetre en el interior. Gracias a una rápida operación realizada antes de que esto suceda, se alejan para siempre las complicaciones. Y tu daimonion sigue contigo... sólo que queda desconectado de ti. Se convierte en... un cachorrillo encantador. ¡El mejor cachorrillo del mundo! ¿No te gustaría tener un cachorrillo? {Marisa Coulter}

You see, your daemon's a wonderful friend and com panion when you're young, but at the age we call puberty, the age you're coming to very soon, darling, daemons bring all sort of troublesome thoughts and feelings, and that's what lets Dust in. A quick little operation before that, and you're never troubled again. And your daemon stays with you, only...just not connected. Like a... like a wonderful pet, if you like. The best pet in the world!Wouldn't you like that? {Marisa Coulter}
