Famous quotes containing the words australian, rules and/or football:

    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)

    Ideas about life organize perception; names of emotions organize sensations; rules of syntax organize thought. But pain comes on its own.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    ... in the minds of search committees there is the lingering question: Can she manage the football coach?
    Donna E. Shalala (b. 1941)
