Famous quotes containing the words island and/or centre:
“I ... would rather be in dependance on Great Britain, properly limited, than on any nation upon earth, or than on no nation. But I am one of those too who rather than submit to the right of legislating for us assumed by the British parliament, and which late experience has shewn they will so cruelly exercise, would lend my hand to sink the whole island in the ocean.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Being at the centre of a film is a burden one takes on with innocence—the first time. Thereafter, you take it on with trepidation.”
—Daniel Day Lewis (b. 1957)
