Famous quotes containing the words population and/or island:

    “In our large cities, the population is godless, materialized,—no bond, no fellow-feeling, no enthusiasm. These are not men, but hungers, thirsts, fevers, and appetites walking. How is it people manage to live on,—so aimless as they are? After their peppercorn aims are gained, it seems as if the lime in their bones alone held them together, and not any worthy purpose.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
