Famous quotes containing the words melville and/or island:

    As with ships, so with men; he who turns his back to his foe gives him an advantage.
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    In all things I would have the island of a man inviolate. Let us sit apart as the gods, talking from peak to peak all round Olympus. No degree of affection need invade this religion.
