Famous quotes containing the words exile and/or island:
“Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say death;
For exile hath more terror in his look,
Much more than death. Do not say banishment!”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“An island always pleases my imagination, even the smallest, as a small continent and integral portion of the globe. I have a fancy for building my hut on one. Even a bare, grassy isle, which I can see entirely over at a glance, has some undefined and mysterious charm for me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
