People are always asking me about eskimos, but there are no eskimos in Iceland.
From earliest childhood, I have rejoiced over the Santa Ana winds. I know those winds the way the Eskimos know their snows.
Never open a book with weather. There are exceptions. If you happen to be Barry Lopez, who has more ways to describe ice and snow than an Eskimo, you can do all the weather reporting you want.
There are times when one certain snow condition is great for one particular brand of skis.
I love... Eskimo Joe's. I have tons of Eskimo Joe's clothes and cups in my house, 'cause I love Eskimo Joe's.
In English we must use adjectives to distinguish the different kinds of love for which the ancients had distinct names.
I hear from my Inuit and Yupik relatives up north that everything has changed. It's so hot; there is not enough winter. Animals are confused. Ice is melting.
We are never racist against somebody who is very far away. I don't know any racism against the Eskimos. To have a racist feeling, there must be an other who is slightly different from us - but is living close to us.
I grew up thinking of snow as a luxury you visit.
There isn't an Eskimo who doesn't love 'Columbo.'
