Famous quotes containing the words year and/or island:

    Last year is dead, they seem to say,
    Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    For four hundred years the blacks of Haiti had yearned for peace. for three hundred years the island was spoken of as a paradise of riches and pleasures, but that was in reference to the whites to whom the spirit of the land gave welcome. Haiti has meant split blood and tears for blacks.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
