Famous quotes containing the words sand and/or island:

    “But the twelve lie in the sand by the dry rock
    Seeing nothing—the sand, the tree, rocks
    Without number—and turn away the face
    To the mind’s briefer and more desert place.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “This island is made mainly of coal and surrounded by fish. Only an organizing genius could produce a shortage of coal and fish at the same time.”
    —Aneurin Bevan (1897–1960)
