“Respect is a fulltime job, twenty-four seven. The way to behave in the world so that nobody’s pride gets trampled, so that anger doesn’t get a chance to ripen into disaster.”
Melissa Lucashenko, Mullumbimby

“Into the river that was about to be stolen away again, as it always had been since Captain James Nunne Esq. first rode up with his troopers, one two three, crying I’ll have that, and that, oh, and that too, while I’m at it.”
Melissa Lucashenko, Too Much Lip

“How all Aboriginal landscapes and peoples and sentient beings were connected across the continent, tied to each other in a thousand ways by names and totems and songs and dances and stories. How everyone somehow belonged to everyone else, before colonisation. Nothing alone, nothing ever in isolation, but always as part of a larger whole extending out to the air and the stars and the planets.”
Melissa Lucashenko, Edenglassie
