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

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

    “Rules and particular inferences alike are justified by being brought into agreement with each other. A rule is amended if it yields an inference we are unwilling to accept; an inference is rejected if it violates a rule we are unwilling to amend. The process of justification is the delicate one of making mutual adjustments between rules and accepted inferences; and in the agreement achieved lies the only justification needed for either.”
    —Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)

    “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)
