Today, words. Tomorrow, sticks and stones. And the day after that?

I wanted to take the shot. I usually make my shots from that spot, so when I got the ball I knew it was going up. I live for situations like that. I'm not going to let us down, not going to let us lose. I love my team. We have a mission, to win the state, and we won't stop until we do it.

The book can produce an addiction as fierce as heroin or nicotine, forcing us to spend much of our lives, like junkies, in book shops and libraries, those literary counterparts to the opium den

But Watson would have told us, had the [full version] gone ahead, that this was a dominating woman who drove him I suppose, dare one suggests, in much the same way that Janette [Howard] might drive John. But that [Keating] felt unsupported finally. This is murky territory. The only one who is entitled to comment, apart from the players, is Don.

We've been motivated this year. Everybody on our team expects to be good. Everybody expects to win every time we play. It won't be that hard to calm down and let everything work. We'll play until the final second.

You've only to walk amongst them, to trail your fingers over their spines, to be enriched by a wonderful osmosis

Unless you're willing to have a go, fail miserably, and have another go, success won't happen

Advertising men and politicians are dangerous if they are separated. Together they are diabolical.

Success is easy. Any mug can be successful and make a fist of it. It's how you deal with it afterwards that is the test of character. I've watched a lot of people lose everything. Now Keating in a sense has lost everything. If you add up all the things he's lost, it's pretty significant. But there is still an absolutely remarkable, unbroken, interesting, involved bloke who is not crushed by what he's been through at all. He's still defiant, he's still funny, he's still full of ideas.

Unless you are willing to try, fail miserable, and try again, success won't happen.

Sport provides the spectacle, the metaphor, the religious ritual, the putty to fill the cracks in countless lives.

The old dead trees are the most fascinating - the countless trees lying in the gullies and up the hills that fell perhaps a century ago, pulling up their roots from the earth as they toppled. The great upheavals left rocks in their huge tentacles and, as they slowly rot, the trunks are home to populations of creatures, from goannas to wild pigs. As grey as tombstones in a cemetery they lie there, having outlasted generations of farmers, as they'll outlast me. In their own way they are as beautiful, more beautiful, than

Let the massacres remind us to turn down our political volume and venom.

While sticks and stones break bones, words can never hurt? Manifestly untrue. Politics everywhere are holistic, interconnected, and the rhetoric of right or left can produce toxic atmospheres in which lunacy thrives.

Unless you're willing to have a go, fail miserably, and have another go, success won't happen.
