Picture Quotes The problem with politicians getting to know the issues in indigenous townships is that we tend to suffer from what Aboriginal people call the 'seagull syndrome' - we fly in, scratch around and fly out. —Tony AbbottWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Ancient wisdom and quantum physicists make unlikely bedfellows: In quantum mechanics the observer determines (or even brings into being) what is observed, and so, too, for the Tiwis, who dissolve the distinction between themselves and the cosmos. In quantum physics, subatomic particles influence each other from a distance, and this tallies with the aboriginal view, in which people, animals, rocks, and trees all weave together in the same interwoven fabric. —Huston SmithWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Colors are primordial ideas, children of the aboriginal colorless light and its counterpart, colorless darkness Light, that first phenomenon of the world, reveals to us the spirit and the living soul of the world through colors. —Johannes IttenWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Over 120 Aboriginal communities run their own health services - some have been doing so for 30 years. They struggle with difficult medical problems.

Picture Quotes I think this is one of the problems that we're having in Indigenous affairs. Why we're not confronting the issues that are going to resolve it, the anger and the guilt. The anger on the Aboriginal side; the guilt on the non - Aboriginal side. We have got to deal with that, move on and start doing real work. —Warren MundineWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes To me, no painter has ever quite understood the light, the distances, the aboriginal ghostliness of the American West as well as Maynard Dixon. The great mood of his work is solitude, the effect of land and space on people. While his work stands perfectly well on its claims to beauty, it offers a spiritual view of the West indispensable to anyone who would understand it. —Thomas McGuaneWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes It is my hope that I could be not just a Prime Minister, but a Prime Minister for Aboriginal affairs, the first I imagine that we've ever had. —Yitzhak RabinWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes The very word "change" has changed. When I was young--and not just because I was young--we looked forward with confident impatience to change. Planned, controlled, beneficent change would continue to clear slums, sweep up the remains of empire, raise living and educational standards, tidy away--firmly but kindly--the last aboriginals who still raved about martial glory or the pride of wealth. Now, as it seems to me, change is set almost exclusively in the minor key, change seen overwhelmingly as loss. —Neal AschersonWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes We are so fortunate, as Australians, to have among us the oldest continuing cultures in human history. Cultures that link our nation with deepest antiquity.

Picture Quotes If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is tied up with mine, then let us work together. —Lilla WatsonWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes The spirit of man is nomad, his blood bedouin, and love is the aboriginal tracker on the faded desert spoor of his lost self; and so I came to live my life not by conscious plan or prearranged design but as someone following the flight of a bird. —Laurens van der PostWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes I have been told many times that when I win I make my people proud to be Australian. I am Aboriginal, I am one of them and every time I win or am honoured like this it should be an example to Aboriginal people who may think they have nowhere to go but down. But more importantly I am an Australian and I would like to make all Australians feel proud to be Australian. Ours is a truly multicultural society and should be united as such. I would like to believe that my successes are celebrated by all Australians, bringing... Read more » —Cathy FreemanWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes The name Kylie can be used for Scrabble, as it is an aboriginal word for boomerang. Which is why Ms Minogue is so good at comebacks. —Kathy LetteWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes One of my earliest memories is being backstage at Bran Nue Dae in Darwin when I was about eight.

Picture Quotes Every person is a Hindu who regards and owns this Bharat Bhumi, this land from the Indus to the seas, as his Fatherland as well as Holyland, i.e. the land of the origin of his religion (...) Consequently the so-called aboriginal or hill tribes also are Hindus: because India is their Fatherland as well as their Holyland of whatever form of religion or worship they follow. —Vinayak Damodar SavarkarWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
