Southern Line Islands

Famous quotes containing the words southern, line and/or islands:

    This is something that I cannot get over—that a whole line could be written by half a man, that a work could be built on the quicksand of a character.

    we are so many
    and many within themselves
    travel to far islands but no one
    asks for their story....
