Midway Island

Famous quotes containing the words midway and/or island:

    How fearful
    And dizzy ‘tis, to cast one’s eyes so low!
    The crows and choughs that wing the midway air
    Show scarce so gross as beetles. Half way down
    Hangs one that gathers samphire, dreadful trade!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In all things I would have the island of a man inviolate. Let us sit apart as the gods, talking from peak to peak all round Olympus. No degree of affection need invade this religion.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
