Every person in the world is by nature a slave to sin. The world, by nature, is held in sin's grip. What a shock to our complacency- that everything of us by nature belongs to sin.

We are its servants.

He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead.

In this sense, and in this sense only, I belong to the rank of devoutly religious men.

They are universal.I want an Australian vision of arts policy that is expansive, is embracing, is not narrow, is not parochial.

It's not about Australian nationalism; it's about our identity as a culturally ambitious, culturally sophisticated nation.
