I wore a Hawaiian shirt. I don’t know what they thought of it. Stephen Hillenburg
I greatly enjoyed the Hawaiian Islands. They are a real little paradise in spite of the influx of Americans who have made it one of their most pleasant ‘centers of resort’: the soft climate and luxuriance of the tropics; the greenness, the fragrance, the flowers – extraordinary flowers covering the tallest trees and turning them into huge bouquets. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

I’m a fast foodie – like, a foodie, but with food courts. I’d love to go with all my friends to a food court that’s also a buffet – with unlimited orange chicken from Panda Express, curly fries from Arby’s, Hawaiian pizza from Sbarro, and Coke Zero. I’m a simple man with simple pleasures. Tyler Oakley

My seven-year-old daughter knows old songs and how the neighborhoods got their names. There are little things: Businesses receive blessings from Hawaiian priests before opening, and everyone’s kids have their debut luau. You can’t really get through a day without doing something Hawaiian. Kaui Hart Hemmings
I’m an American songbook guy, though I’ve got eclectic tastes. I really love the American songbook.

It’s very reggae-influenced down there. Basically, you haven’t been to paradise if you haven’t been to Hawaii. Bruno Mars
I used to drink soda everyday, Hi-C everyday, and Hawaiian punch. That’s how I grew up in Brooklyn. Angela Yee
The chance of any species reaching and then surviving on an island as distant as one of the Hawaiian chain is infinitesimal, but despite the extraordinary odds, plants and seeds found their way ashore, carried by the tide or blown by trade winds, inside birds or in their feathers, in the branches of trees and in the jetsam of sunken ships. Susanna Moore
