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)

    “If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that his heart is no island cut off from others lands, but a continent that joins to them.”
    —Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
