Tales of the South Pacific QUOTES

1 " I wish I could tell you about the South Pacific. The way it actually was. The endless ocean. The infinite specks of coral we called islands. Coconut palms nodding gracefully toward the ocean. Reefs upon which waves broke into spray, and inner lagoons, lovely beyond description. I wish I could tell you about the sweating jungle, the full moon rising behind the volcanoes, and the waiting. The waiting. The timeless, repetitive waiting. "

― James A. Michener , Tales of the South Pacific

2 " The world is not pretty. It's only the hard work of some people that makes it so. "

― James A. Michener , Tales of the South Pacific

3 " Hers was the heart-hunger that has sent people of all ages in search of new thoughts and deeper perceptions. "
