Australian Football

Famous quotes containing the words australian and/or football:

“The Australian mind, I can state with authority, is easily boggled.”
—Charles Osborne (b. 1927)

“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
