Famous quotes containing the words island and/or culture:

    “Our island home
    Is far beyond the wave;we will no longer roam.”
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    Ours is a culture based on excess, on overproduction; the result is a steady loss of sharpness in our sensory experience. All the conditions of modern life—its material plenitude, its sheer crowdedness—conjoin to dull our sensory faculties.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
