Some quotes to get us started in the New Year, some of which have been set in stone on the streets of Wellington...
"I love this city...the hills, the harbour, the wind that blasts through it.I love the life and pulse and activity and the warm decrepitude…there is always an edge here that one must walk which is sharp and precarious, requiring vigilance.”
"It's true you can't live here by chance. You have to do and be, not simply watch and even describe. This is the city of action, the world headquarters of the verb"
Lauris Edmond
And one that greeted us on the walls in the airport in Auckland as we arrived in New Zealand:
"Every flyer who ventures across oceans to distant lands is a potential explorer.In his or her breast burns the same fire that urged adventurers of old to set forth in their sailing ships for foreign lands."
Jean Batten
“Alone in the Sky” 1979
