Famous quotes containing the words main and/or islands:
“The main trouble [with this country] is there are too many people who don’t know where they’re going and they want to get there too fast.”
—Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
“Consider the islands bearing the names of all the saints, bristling with forts like chestnut-burs, or Echinidæ, yet the police will not let a couple of Irishmen have a private sparring- match on one of them, as it is a government monopoly; all the great seaports are in a boxing attitude, and you must sail prudently between two tiers of stony knuckles before you come to feel the warmth of their breasts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
