The fact is Qatar, Etihad, Emirates, Singapore, Garuda, all of the three Chinese airlines, Air New Zealand - the fact is that international aviation relies very much upon agreements between nation-states, and it is not an area in which you have free market operations. ~ Anthony Albanese
New Zealand Biography quotes by Anthony Albanese
Living in New Zealand, it's like a different world - it is a different world. It's very, very cool. ~ Luke Evans
New Zealand Biography quotes by Luke Evans
I know as far as things like the Thunderbirds, there's a New Zealand connection. X-Files, my connection there ... I mean, it could be zeitgeist. I mean, I'm into the paranormal. I have a podcast about cryptozoology. So it's out there that I'm into weird stuff. ~ Rhys Darby
New Zealand Biography quotes by Rhys Darby
I think there's just so much awesome music coming out of New Zealand, I've always loved The Naked And Famous, I absolutely love Ghost Wave ... it just seems like there's a really cool scene happening out there, I'd love to go and spend some time there and see what other bands are popping up. ~ Lizzy Plapinger
New Zealand Biography quotes by Lizzy Plapinger
My dad always told me that the principal reason he chose New Zealand to emigrate to after World War II was the high regard his father had for the Kiwis he encountered at Gallipoli. ~ Peter Jackson

Fortunately New Zealand doesn't have land borders so we are able to be somewhat more rigorous on who gets in and out of our country than perhaps some people. ~ Helen Clark
New Zealand Biography quotes by Helen Clark
But this gives no proper idea of my feelings at all; and no one that has not lived such a retired stationary life as mine, can possibly imagine what they were: hardly even if he has known what it is to awake some morning, and find himself in Port Nelson, in New Zealand, with a world of waters between himself and all that knew him. ~ Anne Bronte
New Zealand Biography quotes by Anne Bronte
Fiordland, a vast tract of mountainous terrain that occupies the south-west corner of South Island, New Zealand, is one of the most astounding pieces of land anywhere on God's earth, and one's first impulse, standing on a cliff top surveying it all, is simply to burst into spontaneous applause. ~ Douglas Adams
New Zealand Biography quotes by Douglas Adams
One place I haven't made it to - mainly because it's so far away - is Australia, so I'd love to go there. I've heard great things about Australia and New Zealand. ~ Stephen Pagliuca
New Zealand Biography quotes by Stephen Pagliuca
Know your load. That's rule numero uno in this business, which is why I make them count the penguins out in front of me one at a time. I'm not going to be the schmuck who shows up in Orlando two
birds short of a dinner party ... I know I'm pulling out of Houston with exactly forty-two Gentoo penguins, seventeen Jamaican land iguanas, four tuataras from New Zealand, and a pair of rare, civet-like mammals called linsangs. No more, no less. ~ Jacob M. Appel
New Zealand Biography quotes by Jacob M. Appel
The people of New Zealand are generally terribly nice. Everybody we had met so far had been terribly nice to us. Terribly nice and eager to please. I realised now that all this relentless niceness and geniality to which we had been subjected had got to me rather badly. New Zealand niceness is not merely disarming, it's decapitating as well, and I had come to feel that if Just one more person was pleasant and genial at me I'd hit him. ~ Douglas Adams
New Zealand Biography quotes by Douglas Adams
Not one great country can be named, from the polar regions in the north to New Zealand in the south, in which the aborigines do not tattoo themselves. ~ Charles Darwin
New Zealand Biography quotes by Charles Darwin
One thing that influenced me in the States when I was doing this recording was American people feeding me things like Arnold Dreyblatt, even things I should've heard back in New Zealand like Peter Jefferies and Jono Lonie 'At Swim 2 Birds. ~ Roy Montgomery
New Zealand Biography quotes by Roy Montgomery
The accents are really really funny. I think I could convince somebody I was from New Zealand. ~ Carter Jenkins
New Zealand Biography quotes by Carter Jenkins
Just because it's jewellery it doesn't mean we have to clam up and be well-behaved. ~ Lisa Walker
New Zealand Biography quotes by Lisa  Walker
I lived with my godmother and mother in New Zealand until I was seven. They were both Jungian psychologists and had a homeless shelter for street gang members in New Zealand. ~ Tamaryn
New Zealand Biography quotes by Tamaryn
Now it looks like I'll be known as the musical comedy guy. Which is good news for me. Or I'll be known as the New Zealand idiot. ~ Bret McKenzie
New Zealand Biography quotes by Bret McKenzie
Actually, parts of New Zealand remind me of Suffolk. There's not many flat bits, but just the atmosphere there. There's a kind of a core tranquility about it, a kind of assuredness that this is fairly close to approaching the perfect way to be. ~ Bernard Hill
New Zealand Biography quotes by Bernard Hill
God bless America. God save the Queen. God defend New Zealand and thank Christ for Australia. ~ Russell Crowe
New Zealand Biography quotes by Russell Crowe
Coming from New Zealand, all the music I listen to is not made by New Zealanders. People never come to New Zealand to play a show because it's in the middle of nowhere. ~ Lorde
New Zealand Biography quotes by Lorde
Many European countries, as well as Australia, Canada, Israel, and New Zealand, have adopted legislation that creates a 'public lending right', where the government recognises that enabling hundreds of people to read a single copy of a book provides a public good, but that doing so is likely to reduce sales of the book. ~ Peter Singer
New Zealand Biography quotes by Peter Singer
In New Zealand, men and women would not take a party seriously if it did not have a good gender - and increasingly racial - mix. It's not about being politically correct; it's just who we are. ~ Jenny Shipley
New Zealand Biography quotes by Jenny Shipley
I think Justin Bieber played a couple of songs up the block from it - and they said that some-one in his camp came and got him a burger. We had been talking about him a lot. Especially actually, last time we came to Australia, C.T. was on a real big Justin Bieber kick. I just thought it was really interesting to finally cross paths with him in New Zealand. And like really - the TV, everyone's just talking about it on the radio - it's a big deal that he was here. I think he just left. ~ Chris Baio
New Zealand Biography quotes by Chris Baio
I'm an officer in her Majesty's Royal New Zealand Navy. I'm a public relations officer in the Royal New Zealand Navy. Sounds good, doesn't it? ~ Mark Hadlow
New Zealand Biography quotes by Mark Hadlow
I remember the snow in Canada and the lovely weather in New Zealand. And I slightly remember going to school there. ~ Robin Trower
New Zealand Biography quotes by Robin Trower
People were nicer to me when I was in the arts. I experienced extreme racism in small-town New Zealand. Racism which really went away when I got into the arts. ~ Cliff Curtis
New Zealand Biography quotes by Cliff Curtis
As an artist I recognise that I have been brought up Pākehā, but am intrigued about addressing this mixing of culture in my life and society as a whole. I interpret this in different ways in my work, and have no answers. ~ Lisa Walker
New Zealand Biography quotes by Lisa  Walker
It is 1908.

The stars shone above in the night sky as a steamship floated among the clouds.

It's captain, Captain Otra, looked at his watch. He was ahead of his delivery schedule by 30 minutes to deliver the British Government it's much-needed order of concentrated milk and goat cheese from the shores of New Zealand.

He had inherited the business from his wife's father. His wife had passed roughly 5 years ago.

His daughter Lux Otra was tinkering for the hundredth time on her grandfather's sky faring compass, taking it apart and putting it back together. Each time she fixed, the compass worked perfectly again. Memorizing these intricate steps would give her a temporary satisfaction but now she couldn't do it anymore. She set the compass down and sighed in frustration. ~ Bellatuscana
New Zealand Biography quotes by Bellatuscana
As soon as I got off the plane in L.A., I heard they'd cast the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy and that it was all being shot in New Zealand! That was pretty ironic. ~ Martin Henderson
New Zealand Biography quotes by Martin Henderson
New Zealand is not a small country but a large village. ~ Peter Jackson
New Zealand Biography quotes by Peter Jackson
Will the United States pull the rug on New Zealand? The answer is no. They might polish the lino a bit harder and hope that I execute a rather unseemly glide across it. ~ David Lange
New Zealand Biography quotes by David Lange
New Zealand and SA should take this dimension into account, the skills South Africans are presently contributing to New Zealand. ~ Helen Clark
New Zealand Biography quotes by Helen Clark
An innocent youth wrote recently that he is convinced I am the greatest writer in the world (from New Zealand). A touching letter – so simple & unaffected. Another young man wrote, only yesterday, that I am to him what Hardy must have been to me. Such tributes are worth having, aren't they, even if I don't deserve them. ~ Siegfried Sassoon
New Zealand Biography quotes by Siegfried Sassoon
The big change was reggae and hip-hop, which came along after Split Enz had started. When Bob Marley first visited New Zealand, he lit a fuse that is still burning very brightly. The Maori people particularly honor reggae music in a very big way. So there is a strong reggae scene and a strong hip-hop scene, especially among Samoans. There's still plenty of quirky stuff around. No one expects to make much money here, so it definitely does encourage an underground sense. ~ Tim Finn
New Zealand Biography quotes by Tim Finn
In New Zealand we had this colossal squid, which was discovered just off the shores of New Zealand, between New Zealand and Antarctica back in 2003. It's the biggest squid ever found, and I know that there's things living down in the depths of the ocean that do explain the Kraken - you know, these giant things that people saw back in the day, that could take ships down - and so I know that there's stuff out there, and I like the idea that we haven't solved everything yet. ~ Rhys Darby
New Zealand Biography quotes by Rhys Darby
I get inspired in certain places. You have to write in places like Amsterdam or Paris or New Zealand, when you're standing on a yacht, looking out at the middle of the ocean. ~ Action Bronson
New Zealand Biography quotes by Action Bronson
As a kid in New Zealand, you play cricket in summer and rugby in winter. I played cricket and hockey. Not rugby. I wasn't brawny enough for it. Or silly enough, perhaps. ~ Glenn Turner
New Zealand Biography quotes by Glenn Turner
I'll let you into a little secret. If you want quality, if you want elegance, if you want individuality, then Gwenna's Superior Sweet Treats are for you. ~ Vicky Adin
New Zealand Biography quotes by Vicky Adin
And with alphabetical irony Nigeria follows New Zealand ~ David Coleman
New Zealand Biography quotes by David Coleman
If Northern Ireland had better weather, it would be like New Zealand. It's an immensely beautiful country. ~ Ian Beattie
New Zealand Biography quotes by Ian Beattie
Dear Oscar

I don't know how to say this any other way but, you see, I need to explain something. I can't stop thinking about that night when you rescued Barney with you tart – and how good and kind I realise you've always been. It wasn't until this morning when you sent me an apple tart of my own that I finally knew what it is that I have to tell you.
The timing is pretty terrible, but, you see, the reason I haven't wanted to go away is because I've wanted to stay here, and the reason I've wanted to stay here is because of you.
I've nothing against New Zealand or anything but because of how I feel, specifically about you, the whole world looks different.
I don't know whether it's because of everything has got darker or lighter. I guess that depends on how you feel about me which is, I hope, the same.
So anyways, look, you've convinced me that I should, as you say 'embrace the adventure' so that is what I have decided to do. It was the taste of you apple tart that finally made up my mind to give this my all. But I need to know you'll be here when I come back.
I love you Oscar Dunleavy.
I've been falling in love with you since that day we first met.
I need to have some idea about whether you feel the same way about me. Send me a sign.
Anything will do.
Love,
Meg ~ Sarah Moore Fitzgerald
New Zealand Biography quotes by Sarah Moore Fitzgerald
