• The thing with your heart's desire is that your heart doesn't even know what it desires until it turns up.

I hadn't even been looking, not for you, and now you were my heart's desire.

• One of the delights beyond the grasp of youth is that of Not Going. Not to have an invitation for the dance, the party, the picnic, the excursion is to be diminished. To have an invitation and then not to be able to go -- oh cursed spite! Now I do not care the rottenest fig whether I receive an invitation or not. After years of illusion, I finally decided I was missing nothing by Not Going. I no longer care whether I am missing anything or not.

• I conclude where I began, I was elected by the people of Australia to do a job. I was not elected by the factional leaders of Australia, of the Australian Labor Party to do a job - though they may be seeking to do a job on me, that's a separate matter. The challenge therefore is to honour the mandate given to me by the Australian people.

Australia must be governed by the people, not by the factions.

• The white-haired wonder leading what had to, by now, be a blocks-long parade must've finally turned on her hearing aid.
