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

    “Each Australian is a Ulysses.”
    —Christina Stead (1902–1983)

    “The young break rules for fun. The old for profit.”
    —Mason Cooley (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)
