Famous quotes containing the words island and/or soldiers:
“They all came, some wore sentiments
Emblazoned on T-shirts, proclaiming the lateness
Of the hour, and indeed the sun slanted its rays
Through branches of Norfolk Island pine as though
Politely clearing its throat....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Bravery in simple soldiers is a dangerous trade, to which they have bound themselves to get their livelihood.”
