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)

    “Retaliation is related to nature and instinct, not to law. Law, by definition, cannot obey the same rules as nature.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “Idon’t enjoy getting knocked about on a football field for other people’s amusement. I enjoy it if I’m being paid a lot for it.”
    —David Storey (b. 1933)
