Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or island:

    “My spirit looks to God alone,
    My rock and refuge is His throne,
    In all my fears, in all my straits,
    My soul on His salvation waits.”
    —Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

    “We crossed a deep and wide bay which makes eastward north of Kineo, leaving an island on our left, and keeping to the eastern side of the lake. This way or that led to some Tomhegan or Socatarian stream, up which the Indian had hunted, and whither I longed to go. The last name, however, had a bogus sound, too much like sectarian for me, as if a missionary had tampered with it; but I knew that the Indians were very liberal. I think I should have inclined to the Tomhegan first.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
