    “The English public, as a mass, takes no interest in a work of art until it is told that the work in question is immoral.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “An island always pleases my imagination, even the smallest, as a small continent and integral portion of the globe. I have a fancy for building my hut on one. Even a bare, grassy isle, which I can see entirely over at a glance, has some undefined and mysterious charm for me.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
