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

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

    “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)

    “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)
