Quote by John Marsden

“I began to think the damage to our country, to us even, went so deep now that it would never fully be repaired. I realised the worst damage wasn't the bombed buildings, the burnt-out cars, the shattered windows. It wasn't even the neglected farms and the holes in the fences and the crops gone to seed. It was the damage deep inside us. Words like spirit and soul started to mean more to me now.”

“Люди старого уклада думают, что у человека может существовать душа без денег. Они думают, что чем меньше у тебя денег, тем больше души. А молодежь в наше время иного мнения. Душа, видите ли, очень дорого обходится. Содержать ее стоит гораздо дороже, чем, скажем, автомобиль. Она поглощает и музыку, и картины, и книги, и горы, и озера, и красивые наряды, и общество приятных людей, - в этой стране вы лишены всего этого, если у вас нет денег. Вот потому-то наши души так изголодались.”

“Christianity was not meant to be a weapon or an argument or a show of force or a political tool. Or an act of aggression or coercion. It was never meant to be a cause or a prop for a cause. Or something to pacify and make thousands go to bed happy and unthinking. It was meant to be a challenge, yes, but that challenge to a second life was meant to be laced with kindness. If someone forces you to choose between God is holy and God is love choose God is love because holiness without love translates into tyranny.”
