Rhode Island Soldiers

Famous quotes containing the words island and/or soldiers:

    The very best place to be in all the world is St. Mary’s parish, Jamaica. And the best spot in St. Mary’s is Port Maria, though all of St. Mary’s is fine. Old Maker put himself to a lot of trouble to make that part of the island of Jamaica, for everything there is perfect.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    Better to die, or not to have been born,
    than hear that plaining, piteous convict wail
    about these beautiful dark eyebrowed women.
    It’s soldiers who sing these days. O Lord God.
    Marina Tsvetaeva (1892–1941)
