Famous quotes containing the words australian and/or movies:
“The Australian mind, I can state with authority, is easily boggled.”
—Charles Osborne (b. 1927)
“I asked her if she wanted to go to the movies that night. She laughed again and told me that she felt like seeing a Fernandel movie. When we got dressed, she seemed very surprised to see me wearing a black tie and asked me if I was in mourning. I told her that my mother was dead. Since she asked me since when, I answered, “Since yesterday”.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
