Judith's favorite quotes

"Jeez, crack a book sometime."
— David Fury, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", Season 5 Episode 2

"People sometimes complain that Berliners just sit around all day in cafes, smoking and talking about art. Is that supposed to be a bad thing?"
Joe Jackson

"None of the seven is really good, for the excellent reason that Australian children never are."
Ethel Turner (Seven Little Australians)

"More than this, I believe that the only lastingly important form of writing is writing for children. It is writing that is carried in the reader's heart for a lifetime; it is writing that speaks to the future."
— Sonya Hartnett (The Bulletin, March 28 2004)

"Well, smack my ass and call me Judy!"
— “Friends” 1:15—The One with the Stoned Guy
