“Books aren't like broccoli. You don't have to eat it because it's good for you. Books drag you in because they are fascinating.”
Jackie French, author

“Morning: Slept.
Afternoon: Slept.
Evening: Ate grass.
Night: Ate grass. Decided grass is boring.
Scratched. Hard to reach the itchy bits.
Slept.”
Jackie French, Diary of a Wombat

“Dance, my darling dance! If you dance then death can't catch you! Nothing bad can touch you! Dance!”
Jackie French, Lady Dance
