Famous quotes containing the words sand, island and/or base:
“The shore is composed of a belt of smooth rounded white stones like paving-stones, excepting one or two short sand beaches, and is so steep that in many places a single leap will carry you into water over your head; and were it not for its remarkable transparency, that would be the last to be seen of its bottom till it rose on the opposite side. Some think it is bottomless.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Beyond this island bound
By a thin sea of flesh
And a bone coast ...”

“No love is entirely without worth, even when the frivolous calls to the frivolous and the base to the base.”
