Quotes by Jock Serong (?)

“Rather than taking this as an indication that perceptive people can see my faults, I take it as a warning to avoid perceptive people at all costs.”
― Jock Serong, The Rules of Backyard Cricket

“The outfield's billiard green: no bare patches, no flowers. The things that are painted white-the sightscreen, the pickets around the boundary-are so white it hurts. The hoses and the boundary line are white. The entire playing surface is perfectly flat and level. And in the middle of the ground, across that wide carpet of perfect grass, the holy of holies.
A turf wicket.”
― Jock Serong, The Rules of Backyard Cricket

“Sometimes I’m amazed by my ability to open my mouth and just hear my own unedited thoughts fall out.”
