To survive one tragedy was to learn you cannot survive them all, and this knowledge was both a freedom and a great loss.
Chris Womersley
It was odd but I couldn't jump the chasm of missing evidence to the conclusion Todd was making.
S.A. Tawks
It was my duty as a mother to invade your privacy and search your room. I'm just glad you weren't hiding an illegal drug.
S.A. Tawks
Being determined delinquents, Peyton and I jumped the barricades and wandered around the dilapidated interior.

What is it that Australians celebrate on 26 January? Significantly, many of them are not quite sure what event they are commemorating. Their state of mind fascinated Egon Kisch, an inquisitive Czech who was in Sydney at the end of January 1935. Kisch has a place in our history as the victim, or hero, of a ludicrous chapter in the history of our immigration laws. He had been invited to Melbourne for a Congress against War and Fascism, and was forbidden to land by order of the attorney-general, R. G. Menzies.

Geordie Williamson
At his funeral the priest's words applied signally to him: 'The Christian Brothers are a body of men who live without luxury, labour without emolument, and die without notice, that they might stamp God's image on the soul of youth. That surely is a splendid vocation.
Edmund Campion
