Famous quotes containing the words melville and/or island:
“A laugh is a mighty good thing, and rather too scarce a good thing.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“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)
