Famous quotes containing the words providence and/or island:

    Who can ... guess how much industry and providence and affection we have caught from the pantomime of brutes?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    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)
