Famous quotes containing the words island and/or lights:
“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)
“Meet me in St. Louis, Louis,
Meet me at the fair,
Don’t tell me the lights are shining any place but there.”
—Andrew B. Sterling (1874–1955)
