Island Quotes

We live in a state with a wonderful climate and plenty of natural beauty, from the shores of Cumberland Island to the Chattahoochee River to the Blue Ridge Mountains Picture Quote #1

I used to work out on an island called Martha’s Vineyard. I ran a pizza oven, I caddied, I worked on a fishing boat, and life is very easy out there. It’s a vacation lifestyle all the time Picture Quote #1

There isn’t an amount of money you could offer me to do reality TV. I would rather get my job back on the building site. Or I could own a construction business. Maybe I could retire to my house in Long Island and take up painting, like Captain Beefheart. A crazy recluse: I like that idea Picture Quote #1

I’m from New York. My grandparents were settlers of Long Island City. When they came here, there was no bridge, and they had to hire a boat across the river. They had a farm, and my grandmother had to go once a week to Manhattan to buy provisions - very primitive Picture Quote #1

I once owned a home on an island off the coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia Picture Quote #1

I might be the hazardous waste site that polluted it, but Cape Breton Island is still my home Picture Quote #1

On Cape Cod, great white shark stocks have been growing, or at least becoming more concentrated, because of the multiplying numbers of seals around Monomoy Island. We are fortunate to have such abundance of these sharks in our own waters. Around the globe, we are killing in excess of 100 million sharks each year Picture Quote #1

Romance is sort of an island right next to care. When you care about someone and you listen to them and you hear them and you can feel them and you know just what’s right, and generally it’s something that will be very unimpressive to a room of strangers Picture Quote #1

I’ve got a place in Portugal, which I like very much, but I’ve just been working in Malaysia for five weeks. My family had a chance to come over and we really loved it, particularly the island of Pangkor Picture Quote #1

I grew up on the South Island of New Zealand, in a city chosen and beloved by my parents for its proximity to the mountains - Christchurch is two hours distant from the worn saddle of Arthur’s Pass, the mountain village that was and is my father’s spiritual touchstone, his chapel and cathedral in the wild Picture Quote #1

I’d left Hawaii twice in my life, so I’d been on an island my whole life. I had no clue. I didn’t know how to live in a city Picture Quote #1

I always like to sing barefoot, but when I first started doing these dates with the symphonies, I of course thought I should clean up my act, being a Jewish girl from Long Island with a little bit of a trucker mouth. So I wore a gown and some high heels Picture Quote #1

Demonstrations must be dignified and nonviolent, as the overwhelming protests in Ferguson and Staten Island have been.

They kissed in the middle of the sidewalk, letting the crowds of people flow around them like water around an island Picture Quote #1

Death Valley is really wide-open - it’s bigger than Rhode Island - and it’s less a part of California than an ungoverned territory, so there’s lots of weird cops-and-robbers stuff going on Picture Quote #1

Corinne Bailey Rae I listen to a lot, and I’ll hear Desert Island Discs and quickly write down the name of a song, and it will open up a new area of music for me. I discovered an Argentinian guitarist, Jose Luis Bieito, on Classic FM Picture Quote #1
