“Charles Darwin noticed the result. He observed that in some island chains, there would be islands at one end with young volcanic cones, middle islands with cones in different stages of erosion, and at the other end, nothing left but coral reefs.”
Hubert Staudigel
“We have pacified some thousands of the islanders and buried them; destroyed their fields; burned their villages, and turned their widows and orphans out-of-doors; furnished heartbreak by exile to some dozens of disagreeable patriots; subjugated the remaining 10 millions by Benevolent Assimilation, which is the pious new name of the musket. And so, by these Providences of God -- and the phrase is the government's, not mine -- we are a World Power.”
Mark Twain
“Metaphorically these essays move as a quiet but observant coast-guard cutter among the rocks and islands up and down the littoral of our life.”

“The one thing you can take out of an experience like ('The Island') is, hopefully, some wisdom, ...

Walter Parkes
“They used to have two clinics - one in the upper North Island and one in Wellington - for 18 youngsters but Golf New Zealand they weren't exposing the elite coaches to enough players, so from this year elite coaches are going around from region to region to be in contact with more boys and girls.”
