“I live in the light,
But carry my dark with me.”

“People just sticking names on places, so that no one could see those places properly any more. Every time they looked at them or thought about them the the first thing they saw was a huge big sign saying 'Housing Commission' or 'private school' or 'church' or 'mosque' or 'synagogue'. They stopped looking once they saw those signs.”
― John Marsden, Tomorrow, When the War Began

“Sometimes I think I'd rather be frightened than bored. At least when you're frightened you know you're alive.”
― John Marsden, A Killing Frost

“I'm a person of the mountains and the open paddocks and the big empty sky, that's me, and I knew if I spent too long away from all that I'd die; I don't know what of, I just knew I'd die.”
― John Marsden, A Killing Frost
