— Geoffrey Blainey, A Land Half Won (1980)
“I have just finished writing a full-sized novel; title, Such is Life; scenery, and northern Vic.; temper, democratic; bias, offensively Australian.”
— Joseph Furphy, self-introduction to , published in The Bulletin (4 April 1897). Quoted in Iris Murdoch, (1962), ch. 9
“Earth is here so kind, that just tickle her with a hoe and she laughs with a harvest.”
