[A] place that is unique in the world — unique in position, in picturesqueness, and in history. That mighty Rock, "standing out of the water and in the water," (as on the day when the old world perished;) is one of the Pillars of Hercules, that once marked the very end of the world; and around its base ancient and modern history flow together, as the waters of the Atlantic mingle with those of the Mediterranean. — Henry M. Field, vii.
Any serious analysis of the development of the character and consciousness of the Gibraltarian people ... must take stock of the British dimension in this small, close-knit community which may arguably be called an "offspring of Empire." — E. G. Archer, 1.
