Quote by John Marsden

“I wrote it because we wanted to believe that our lives had some meaning. We wanted to know that we hadn't passed through the world unchanged, and that we hadn't left the world unchanged. We didn't want to come and go from this planet without leaving a mark.”

“I don’t care who you support what political party you support or what you believe in. Do your business and hustle however, you see it fits. But don’t gaslight those who are doing right and fighting for what is right. Don’t promote racism, apartheid, division, hate, crime, corruption, lies, and wrong things because you are benefiting. Tomorrow all of us including yourself will be dead, sick, or suffering because of your influence and actions, you were too hungry, selfish, greedy, and stupid to see the truth.”

“I am sure there are many ways to attract investors, donors, or funders. There are numerous methods to secure funding. However, con artists, criminals, and grifters always choose the wrong approach. Their strength lies in deception, lying, and playing the victim card. Like any scammer, they thrive on lies and deceiving others. They can even stage events, tamper with evidence, fabricate stories, distort information, or spread misinformation to support their lies.”

“People start political parties not to address the issues and service delivery we are facing, but to exploit taxpayers' money. That's why we have more than 50 political parties, yet no single issue people are facing is resolved. These parties celebrate anniversaries yearly, while what is broken in society remains broken, and even more issues arise. People start political parties to represent themselves, not the people or society. They start these political parties to scam the government. That's why, when they get into parliament, they don't understand service delivery and don't want to know or provide it. They care more about themselves than others.”
