Famous quotes containing the words island and/or groups:

    “Beyond this island bound
    By a thin sea of flesh
    And a bone coast ...”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “In properly organized groups no faith is required; what is required is simply a little trust and even that only for a little while, for the sooner a man begins to verify all he hears the better it is for him.”
    —George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)
