Island Identity

Famous quotes containing the words island and/or identity:

    “They all came, some wore sentiments
    Emblazoned on T-shirts, proclaiming the lateness
    Of the hour, and indeed the sun slanted its rays
    Through branches of Norfolk Island pine as though
    Politely clearing its throat....”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Growing has no connection with audience. / Audience has no
    connection with identity. / Identity has no

    connection with human nature.”
