Heard Island

Famous quotes containing the words heard and/or island:

“I heard the beat of centaur’s hoofs over the hard turf
As his dry and passionate talk devoured the afternoon.
“He is a charming man” “But after all what did he mean?”—
“His pointed ears. ... He must be unbalanced,”—
“There was something he said that I might have challenged.””
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

“Your kind doesn’t just kill men. You murder their spirits, you strangle their last breath of hope and freedom, so that you, the chosen few, can rule your slaves in ease and luxury. You’re a sadist just like the others, Heiser, with no resource but violence and no feeling but fear, the kind you’re feeling now. You’re drowning, Heiser, drowning in the ocean of blood around this barren little island you call the New Order.”
—Curtis Siodmak (1902–1988)
