“One does not arise from such a book as Sister Carrie with a smirk of satisfaction; one leaves it infinitely touched.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Beyond the horizon, or even the knowledge, of the cities along the coast, a great, creative impulse is at work—the only thing, after all, that gives this continent meaning and a guarantee of the future. Every Australian ought to climb up here, once in a way, and glimpse the various, manifold life of which he is a part.”
—Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
