Richard Flanagan Zitate

Through my youth, there was imposed on us a culture relentlessly English. English books were all you could buy; English television filled our screens, and in consequence, England seemed to matter in a way that our world didn't.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Durch meine Jugend wurde uns unaufhörlich Englisch Kultur auferlegt. Englische Bücher waren alles, was man kaufen konnte; Das englische Fernsehen füllte unsere Bildschirme, und infolgedessen schien England eine Rolle zu spielen, die unsere Welt nicht hatte.

I used to dream of some kind of way that you could carry a phone with you - but I never thought I would see it in my lifetime. It doesn't matter nowadays if you are caught in traffic or got lost on the way somewhere. You can just send a text and the recipient will know that you haven't fallen under a bus.

Tolerance has to be shown by those who come to this country for a new way of life. If you are not prepared to become Australian and give this country your undivided loyalty, obey our laws, respect our culture and way of life, then I suggest you go back where you came from.

Pauline Hanson

The whole of science, and one is tempted to think the whole of the life of any thinking man, is trying to come to terms with the relationship between yourself and the natural world. Why are you here, and how do you fit in, and what's it all about.
