Famous quotes containing the words land and/or islands:
“What between the duties expected of one during one’s lifetime, and the duties exacted from one after one’s death, land has ceased to be either a profit or a pleasure. It gives one position, and prevents one from keeping it up. That’s all that can be said about land.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“we are so many
and many within themselves
travel to far islands but no one
asks for their story....”
