Island Fort

Famous quotes containing the words island and/or fort:

“I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“To die, to be really dead, that must be glorious.... There are far worse things awaiting man than death.”
—Garrett Fort (1900–1945)
