Redemption Island

Famous quotes containing the words redemption and/or island:

    “Industrial societies turn their citizens into image-junkies; it is the most irresistible form of mental pollution. Poignant longings for beauty, for an end to probing below the surface, for a redemption and celebration of the body of the world. Ultimately, having an experience becomes identical with taking a photograph of it.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “That island of England breeds very valiant creatures; their
    mastiffs are of unmatchable courage.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
