Minor Islands

Famous quotes containing the words minor and/or islands:

    For a country to have a great writer ... is like having another government. That’s why no rĂ©gime has ever loved great writers, only minor ones.
    Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)

    The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
