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

    “The Australian mind, I can state with authority, is easily boggled.”
    —Charles Osborne (b. 1927)

    “A scholar, in his Segmenta, left a note,
    As follows, “The Ruler of Reality,
    If more unreal than New Haven, is not
    A real ruler, but rules what is unreal.””
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)
