Isabella Bird Zitate

The Sandwich Islands are not the same as Otaheite nor as the Fijis, from which they are distant about 4,000 miles, nor are their people of the same race. The natives are not cannibals, and it is doubtful if they ever were so. Their idols only exist in missionary museums.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Die Sandwichinseln sind nicht die gleichen wie die Otaheiten oder die Fidschis, von denen sie etwa 4.000 Meilen entfernt sind, noch sind ihre Leute derselben Rasse. Die Eingeborenen sind keine Kannibalen, und es ist zweifelhaft, ob sie es jemals waren. Ihre Idole existieren nur in Missionsmuseen.

The fact that 'Honey, I'm Good' made such a splash and that people were catching it on radio, on Spotify, on Pandora, it's driving everybody to go hear the album.

The grief of the keen is no personal complaint for the death of one woman over eighty years, but seems to contain the whole passionate rage that lurks somewhere in every native of the island.

In my town, I had only one adult American male role model: my father. I grew up taking it for granted that missionaries were what American boys grew up to be.
