"Well, Iâ€™ve learnt this much: it doesnâ€™t matter what it costs, itâ€™s worth paying the price. You canâ€™t live cheap and you canâ€™t live for nothing. Pay the price and be proud youâ€™ve paid it, thatâ€™s what I reckon."

-- John Marsden

“Universal literacy was a 20th-century goal. Before then, reading and writing were skills largely confined to a small, highly educated class of professional people.”
“There is no escaping this fight. It is civilization or Jihadism. We can and should debate tactics; but the sides are clear enough.”
“I don't believe in breaks. Not yet. I'm too young. I'll find the next job to keep me busy between seasons.”
“For me, victory isn't measured by winning in the traditional sense.”
“Home is the place you return to when you have finally lost your soul. Home is the place where life is born, not the place of your birth, but the place where you seek rebirth.

Perhaps only when you have come to understand that can you finally reach home.”
“White in the moon the long road lies, The moon stands blank above; White in the moon the long road lies That leads me from my love. Still hangs the hedge without a gust, Still, still the shadows stay: My feet upon the moonlit dust Pursue the ceaseless way. The world is round, so travellers tell, And straight through reach the track, Trudge on, trudge on, 'twill all be well, The way will guide one back. But ere the circle homeward hies Far, far must it remove: White in the moon the long road lies That leads me from my love.”
“I'm happy because I got another medal. It's a competition and it's ice and anything can happen.”
“Strength must build up, not destroy. It should outdo itself, not others who are weaker. Used without responsibility, it causes nothing but harm and death. I can lift the heaviest weights, but I can not take the responsibility off my shoulders. Because the way we use our strength defines our fate. What traces will I leave on my path into the future? Do we really have to kill in order to live? My true strength lies in not seeing weakness as weakness. My strength needs no victims. My strength is my compassion.”
