Famous quotes containing the words living and/or australian:
“I always used to suffer a great deal if I let myself get too close to reality since the definitive world of the everyday with its hard edges and harsh light did not have enough resonance to echo the demands I made upon experience. It was as if I never experienced experience as experience. Living never lived up to the expectations I had of it—the Bovary syndrome.”
—Angela Carter (1942–1992)
“The Australian mind, I can state with authority, is easily boggled.”
—Charles Osborne (b. 1927)
