Famous quotes containing the words islands and/or visited:
“Consider the islands bearing the names of all the saints, bristling with forts like chestnut-burs, or Echinidæ, yet the police will not let a couple of Irishmen have a private sparring- match on one of them, as it is a government monopoly; all the great seaports are in a boxing attitude, and you must sail prudently between two tiers of stony knuckles before you come to feel the warmth of their breasts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I never spoke with God
Nor visited in Heaven—
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the Checks were given—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
