"If international business left Bermuda it could be catastrophic to tourism because there is that much reliance on business visitors."

– Opposition MP David Dodwell. He lost his seat in the December 2007 General Election.

"I just don't understand why he is gone. They (the Police) say they are still with the case. That's all they say. They haven't told me anything. I'm not giving up hope. I promised myself I will find out one way or the other."

– Danny Crockwell, father of Shaki Crockwell, urged other victims of violence to keep fighting for justice during a Stop The Violence march he organised.

"The Bermuda we have known for the last five years has not always been at ease with itself. The scars of Bermuda's social history are not yet all healed. Even in this small island, the sense of common purpose is not yet universal. But small can, and must, embrace diversity. All the colours of the rainbow manage to live together in harmony in a single drop of dew."

– Outgoing Governor Sir John Vereker.

"Let none dissuade you by their false assertions and untruths. Let none dissuade you by their questioning our integrity or impugning our motives — the Progressive Labour Party still represents the best and brightest hope for our country, our people and our future."

"You're really dealing with a property which needs significant remediation. There are a lot of large environmental issues that need to be dealt with first. To somehow suggest you can put a stand-alone hotel up there without dealing with the rest of it just doesn't make sense."

Attorney General Philip Perinchief on the response to the Workforc Equity Bill: "Mr. Timothy Marshall, a recipient and beneficiary of this unequal status quo, and a lawyer, should know better. The outgoing Governor (Sir John Vereker), a non-lawyer has acted in even a more inhibitive manner and quite rehrehensibly. In both these instances, these two individuals are wrong on their perceptions of the law."

"What the Attorney General doesn't know is that my father, brought up by a single parent who absolutely believed in the power of education, couldn't get a job in Bermuda after university because of his Portuguese heritage."

– Tim Marshall.
