From Michael Leunig

Easter is not limited to the passion and death of Christ; it also includes the dismal tragedy of life unlived by the many, and all the loss of passion and truth that goes with it.

From Michael Leunig

Falling down is a very big subject, and so is the concept of downfall. None of us escapes, and I have had my share of both.

From Michael Leunig

From Michael Leunig
