Auckland Quotes

AUCKLAND A TURTLE WHICH EXPLORER CAPTAIN COOK GAVE TO THE KING OF TONGA IN 1777 DIED YESTERDAY. IT WAS NEARLY 200 YEARS OLD. THE ANIMAL, CALLED TU’IMALILA, DIED AT THE ROYAL PALACE GROUND IN THE TONGAN CAPITAL OF NUKU, ALOFA.

The only thing worse than an Aussie or Kiwi intonation is its intermittent use. When it's Auckland talking, or Melbourne, fine. But when a snatch of downunder drawl erupts from the mouth of a Euro, it's like blood in your urine.

Ben was moving permanently to Auckland to be with the new girlfriend. The small amount of support he did offer was going to stop, and it meant when he did look after the kids every other weekend, she was going to have to meet him halfway, or even drive down there. Joss understood her consternation. Three hours in a car with four kids was no laughing matter, without taking the cost of petrol into account.

So, fast forward from Cardiff 1997 to Auckland 2011, from a Rugby World Cup quarter-final to a World Cup final, from a team heading towards defeat to a team heading towards victory. It’s the same two sides playing: New Zealand vs. France. It’s just as tight, but this time New Zealand lead by one point. Read the body language. Richie McCaw breathes, holds his wrist, stamps his feet – reconnecting with himself, returning to the moment. He looks around. There are no glazed eyes now. No walking dead. Brad Thorne throws water over himself, cooling his thoughts. Kieran Read stares out to the far distant edge of the stadium, regaining perspective. New Zealand, the stadium of four million people, is less calm. The dread casts a long black cloud. The spectators can’t help but flash back to the bad pictures. They are in the Red, but the All Blacks stay in the Blue. The clock counts itself down, slowly, slowly; until finally . . . the whistle blows. 8-7 New Zealand. ‘We smashed ’em,’ says Graham Henry. And in their heads, they did.

How's your room?" "You could see for yourself if you popped in." "Is that a line?" "I don't know. Is it? Do you feel the compulsion to rush over to room 306 and see me right now? I promise I'll make it worth your while." "Sorry, no compulsion." "Too bad." He lowered his voice. "I'm still sore from hefting all those heavy platters in Auckland, and if you want me at the top of my beefcake game for your shoot tomorrow, you could give me that massage." She laughed, a joyous sound that shot straight to his heart. Head. Gut. Wherever. "Nice try, but I'll pass." "Your loss, sweetheart. Just think, you could be here right now, having me splayed on the bed at your mercy, all that bare skin to explore, running your hands over my pectorals, my biceps, my latissimus dorsi---" "I hope that's not a fancy anatomical term for anything below the waist." He guffawed, enjoying their sparring way too much. "You sure I haven't tempted you?" She hesitated for a moment, before replying. "Maybe a little, but I really have to prep for tomorrow. I'm meeting with the head chef in thirty minutes to run through the dishes, then I'll need a few hours to go through my planning." "Anything I can do to help?" "Just bring the beefcake at eight sharp in the morning." "Yes, ma'am." "And Manny?" "Yeah?" "If I ever lose my mind and decide to give you a massage, I'll be starting at your very impressive gluteus maximus.

Moscow. Brasilia. Auckland. Oslo. Sofia. Stockholm. Reykjavik. Jakarta. New Delhi. Certain more militant and paranoid territories had correctly initiated immediate airport quarantines, cordoning off the dead jets with military force, and yet… Setrakian couldn’t help but suspect that these landings were as much a tactical distraction as an attempt at infection. Only time would tell if he was correct—though, in truth, there was precious little time.

I think I drunk e-mailed the Auckland Philharmonic last night.

Libby, I cannot make you promises that I will be able to afford to live in this town. After this afternoon, I have almost nothing left to my name, and I must find a way to provide for my family. The only thing I know for certain is that I can never permit my children to live under the same roof as your father. If you wish to live with me, you must leave your father’s house. When I return, I hope you will be able to make that decision.” When she tried to look away from him, he cupped her face in his hands. “I understand your loyalty to your father will not permit you to come with us now, but you will be in my heart with every mile of the journey. I studied the map and believe I can return in a month, perhaps a little less. It is hard to know how travel over the mountains will go. Were it possible, I would send you letters every day that would spell out exactly my feelings for you, but I don’t think your father would welcome reading such letters to you.” Her voice was hesitant and he had to lean closer to hear. “You could send them to Mr. Auckland,” she said, and his heart soared at the words. He could barely speak because his grin was so wide. “You would welcome my letters then?” She glanced up at him. He could not be certain because the light was so dim, but it looked as if her cheeks were suffused with the most stunning blush he had ever seen on a woman. “Yes,” she said. “I would welcome your letters.

Now, head down the hall and to the right before you say something you’ll regret.” Mark eyed him up and down. “Like that horse hadn’t already bolted from the stable a paragraph or six back.

P.O. Box 1 Auckland,

First, lucky people notice and act on chance opportunities in their life, creating strong social networks and holding themselves open to new experiences: I was lucky; I went to a grad school that was very open to risk taking and very open to freedom. That was at McGill back in the 1960s. I think they almost had a culture of risk taking, and my supervisor used to tell me, “Just have a go. It doesn’t matter if they reject it.” (Michael Corballis, Psychology, University of Auckland) Second, they trust their intuition: I’m a big fan of following serendipitous encounters: you leave no stone unturned and follow all kinds of paths even if you don’t really expect much there. Some of them of course don’t pan out well, but occasionally, you really get rewarded. (Ann Blair, History, Harvard University) Third, they persevere in the face of criticism and rejection: When I first started getting published in medicine, I was accused of being fluffy, Mickey Mouse. All kinds of awful criticisms were made of my work and my writing—“This isn’t medical,” “You can’t publish this kind of thing as medical research.” The more I received that criticism, the more absolutely determined I became to overcome it. (Gillie Bolton, freelance writer in literature and medicine, United Kingdom) And fourth, they transform bad luck into good by seeing the positive side of unlucky events: I absolutely subscribe to the notion that any feedback is a blessing. I don’t actually care how negative the feedback is; I just keep thinking, “Gosh, this could only strengthen my paper for the next place I’m going to send it to.” (Shanthi Ameratunga, Population Health, University of Auckland)

And it’s a relief, or a small death, to be standing, dressed in the simplicity of night, for once not crumpled by ecstasy, anticipation or senseless joy. Silently, you greet the ocean, this pliant metaphor for anything we feel at a given time. As of tonight, you ascribe to it no meaning, no truth, no character. But planted firmly in its moving sands, your mere presence is a question: is it true that everything will pass before your dry eyes, even this night stripped of tomorrow? from “Poem without kites,” All Roads Lead to the Sea (Auckland University Press, 1997)

Miller might be gay, but he’s hardly a spokesman for our ever-expanding alphabet of genders and sexuality.

BEAUTIFUL BLINDS

Blockout Blinds Auckland

Boys could get a job and go out and about in Bishop Auckland, anywhere, anytime, no repercussions or recriminations, but in your case, if something happened, well, what were you doing there? What were you thinking? Why were you, a girl, walking alone by the riverbank or down an empty street, or anywhere around town, at night on your own? You were just asking for it: trouble of some kind.

Everyone seemed to think it was somehow your fault, as a girl, if you were harassed, or didn’t laugh it off. Boys could get a job and go out and about in Bishop Auckland, anywhere, anytime, no repercussions or recriminations, but in your case, if something happened, well, what were you doing there?

Bridges severely fire-damaged: one. Percent chance that will come back to bite us: one hundred.

I’m not obscenely wealthy myself—only rudely, or maybe just impolitely

Sally has many fine qualities, but she’s the mistress of the ten-minute sentence,

He sighed the sigh of the leet who has to explain to the n00b.

You’re some sort of ninja or something?” “Something like that.” He blinked at me. “And those guys were what? Pirates?” “Of a sort.” “So I guess that settles that question. Ninjas win. I always thought so.

Her flagstaff swept down again, strobing like a patriotic nightclub,

Are there maybe some nice drugs you guys should be taking? Or perhaps, shouldn’t be taking?

No, that’s how Tara is pretty much all the time,” said Sparx. “I just pretend she’s talking to me like a normal person, instead of a stoat with an intimate rash, and mostly it works out.

I know we got off on the wrong foot—assuming you have a right foot, which is speculation on my part

someone who goes around stealing other people’s bodies is probably a couple of clauses short of a Bill of Rights in the first place,

Uh-oh,” I said, or words to that effect.

I was trying to be nice. I don’t have a lot of practice at that. It may not have been totally successful.

First we defeat the werewolves. Then we smash the patriarchy.

[He motions to what looks like a sharpened steel paddle at his side.] “Pouwhenua”—got it from a Maori brother who used to play for the All Blacks before the war. Bad motherfuckers, the Maori. That battle at One Tree Hill, five hundred of them versus half of reanimated Auckland.

How was the Roman Empire cut in half?” “Dunno,” I say. “With a pair of Caesars.” He grins.

You’ve been in my head from the minute you first kissed me and threw me against that damn wall in that car park over a year ago. Yeah, it’s been hard between us, I know that. But it’s been hard because it mattered—it fucking mattered, Reuben, it always did. We knew we had something from the start, and all I ever wanted was all of it. Every real, messed-up, glorious second of it. A secret slice, eaten in the closet, was never going to be enough for me—not of you, not of us.

Advertising's ultimate triumph of background over content may have been recently achieved in New Zealand, where graphic designer Fiona Jack conducted a peculiar billboard campaign to market her new product, Nothing.6 "I was thinking about advertising and all its strangeness, its coercive ability to sell the most completely bizarre things to people who usually don't need them," Jack observed. "I realized that the ultimate nonexistent product would be nothing." New Zealand's Outdoor Advertising Association became interested in her idea and agreed to feature the slogan "Nothing-What you've been looking for" on twenty-seven billboards around the Auckland area. The billboard company soon began receiving calls from potential customers wanting to know where they could buy some of that Nothing. "The majority of the population," Jack says, "seem to be convinced that it is either a teaser for a campaign, or a new cosmetic product of a similar nature to the `Simple' cosmetic range.

Sparx,” she said into my chest, “you’re the bravest person I know. You’ve faced death, ghosts, multiple Nazi sorcerers, and werewolves, not to mention dealing with your anxiety every day.” “Yeah,” I said. “But this was my mother.

Up until a few months before, I’d thought Amygdala was the surname of Luke Skywalker’s mother,

Sparx,” I said, breaking into his stream of geekishness, which was making Mark look like he’d found the Holy Grail inside the Ark of the Covenant, and Kyle and Madison look like they’d stumbled into CERN and found a lecture in progress in German.

1891 “The Ripper is here.” The whispered words somehow found their way through the cacophony of noise surrounding me. Wrapping around my chest in a vice-like grip, threatening to crush my ribs and pulverise my heart. I sucked in a shaking breath of air, smelling sweat and horse manure, coal and brimstone. Hell is Auckland city on a protest rally day. A scream rang out, and then another. The high pitched sound an

The challenge for us today is to create these kinds of mechanisms and networks for domestic relocation. Of course, these support systems cannot substitute for improving the overall quality of life in places like Bishop Auckland and small-town America, so people can stay where they already are, at home. But if people must leave to seek opportunity elsewhere, they should have a shot at doing so.
