Famous quotes containing the words isles and/or beach:
“The isles of Greece! the isles of Greece
Where burning Sappho loved and sung,”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“The seashore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is even a trivial place. The waves forever rolling to the land are too far-traveled and untamable to be familiar. Creeping along the endless beach amid the sun-squall and the foam, it occurs to us that we, too, are the product of sea-slime.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
