Famous quotes containing the words adventure and/or island:
“An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“We approached the Indian Island through the narrow strait called “Cook.” He said, “I ‘xpect we take in some water there, river so high,—never see it so high at this season. Very rough water there, but short; swamp steamboat once. Don’t paddle till I tell you, then you paddle right along.” It was a very short rapid. When we were in the midst of it he shouted “paddle,” and we shot through without taking in a drop.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
