Witi Ihimaera, The Whale Rider“... the love which Kahu received from Koro Apirana was the sort that dropped off the edge of the table, like breadcrumbs after everybody else has had a big meal.”
Witi Ihimaera, The Whale Rider“... sometimes love becomes a power game between ambitions that parents have for their children and the ambitions that children have for themselves.”
Witi Ihimaera, The Whale Rider“Man might carve his mark on the earth but unless he's vigilant, Nature will take it all back.”
Witi Ihimaera, The Whale Rider“When you're sorting yourself out, family are not often the ones you can turn to. They represent the place of departure and not the place of arrival.”
