Famous quotes containing the words prince and/or islands:

    “A frog in love would not be enchanted to learn that her beloved had turned into Prince Charming.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War.”
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
