“There was all this loneliness in my cartoons and people would say, "Gee, these characters are so lonely, disconnected, depressed." And I'd say, 'Yeah well, that's not me. I'm just interested in that because I think it makes a funny drawing.' But later I understood it was me in many respects; my hand was doing it ahead of the head's understanding.” PeopleThinkingWellsCharacterWisdomHandsUnderstandingLonelinessUnderstoodLonelyYeahDrawingCartoonDisconnectedSo Lonely Author:Michael Leunig
“God bless this tiny little boat, And me who travels in it. It stays afloat for years and years, And sinks within a minute. And so the soul in which we sail, Unknown by years of thinking, Is deeply felt and understood, The minute that it’s sinking.” ThinkingYearsLittlesSoulFeltMinutesUnderstoodTinyBoatBlessSailGod BlessSinking Book:When I Talk to You: A Cartoonist Talks to God Source: When I Talk to You: A Cartoonist Talks to God
“At the very simplest, I think as Van Gogh said and St Francis would have said, we must find nature. Just to be in the presence of nature your feelings and 'little seedlings' start to awake.

But we must integrate it into the way people live every day.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayLittlesSaidFeelingsTurnsNatureCuttingAwakeCommoditySimplestVansTourismIntegratingEcoLive Every DaySeedlings Author:Michael Leunig
