“Utu--Maori revenge. 'Do everything well, boy. Do it better than them. Be a better rugby player, better at your job. Outshine them everywhere. Tramp on their pride. Go far, and leave them sniveling in your dust.”

“Because…sometimes I think you meet people and they make you better, even if you’re not with them forever.”

“I know you better then you know,you can fight but it's not over.I say to stop but you start to go,I guess that means it's L-O-V-E.”

“BELEIVE IN YOUR SELF AT ALL TIMES”

“The way I look at it, women in the City are like first-generationimmigrants. You get off the boat, you keep your eyes down, work ashard as you can and do your damnest to ignore the taunts of ignorantnatives who hate you because you look different and you smelldifferent and because one day you might take their job. And you hope. You know it's probably not going to get that much better in your ownlifetime, but just the fact that you occupy the space, the fact thatthey had to put a Tampax dispenser in the toilet - all that makes iteasier for the women who come after you.... The females who comeafter us will scarcely give us a second thought, but they will walk onour bones.”

“...like it better, nothing like sunshine dried right into your clothes. ”
