Mud Island

Famous quotes containing the words mud and/or island:

“The swimming hole is still in use. It has the same mudbank. It is still impossible to dress without carrying mud home in one’s inner garments. As an engineer I could devise improvements for that swimming hole. But I doubt if the decrease in mother’s grief at the homecoming of muddy boys would compensate the inherent joys of getting muddy.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

“He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.”
