Famous quotes containing the words heat, island and/or effect:
“... often in the heat of noonday, leaning on a hoe, looking across valleys at the mountains, so blue, so close, my only conscious thought was, How can I ever get away from here? How can I get to where they have books, where I can be educated? I worked hard, always waiting for something to happen to change things. There came a time when I knew I must make them happen; that no one would do anything about it for me. And I did.”
—Belinda Jelliffe (18921979)
“Our island home
Is far beyond the wave;we will no longer roam.”

“Lets take the instant by the forward top;
For we are old, and on our quickst decrees
Th inaudible and noiseless foot of time
Steals ere we can effect them.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
