Famous quotes containing the word islands:

    “we are so many
    and many within themselves
    travel to far islands but no one
    asks for their story....”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War.”
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
