Hugh Mackay was in conversation with Alex Sloan on his new book Just Saying. Exploring twenty-five remarkable quotations to enlighten, challenge and inspire, in which Hugh reflects on profound sayings, ancient and modern. Warm, witty, wise – and occasionally challenging – Just Saying encapsulates Hugh Mackay's highly personal reflections on 25 quotations from some of the world's greatest thinkers and writers, from Confucius and Plato to Susan Sontag and Miles Franklin; from Samuel Johnson and Mary Wollstonecraft to Bertrand Russell and Gloria Steinem. Interpreting our world and inspiring us to do better, Hugh explores themes ranging from kindness and humility to power and prejudice; from gender equality to ethnic diversity; from coping with change to the damage inflicted on ourselves by revenge, and the great gulf between propriety and virtue. 'Writing these reflections has felt a bit like the beginning of a conversation . . . now it's over to you.' Hugh Mackay Hugh Mackay AO is a social psychologist and
