White Australia

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or australia:

“Lately
I’ve been looking at old-fashioned plaids, fingering
Starched white collars, wondering whether there’s a way
To get them really white again. My wife
Thinks I’m in Oslo—Oslo, France, that is.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.”
