I think the Caribbean countries face rising oceans and they face increase in the severity of hurricanes. This is something that is very, very scary to all of us. The island states in the world represent - I remember this number - one-half of 1 percent of the carbon emissions in the world. And they will - some of them will disappear.
Steven Chu

I was a small kid from Huntington, Long Island. I never imagined that anything like that would happen to me.
Gerry Cooney

I was a young kid from Long Island who wanted to do something large with her life, so I can relate to that.
Edie Falco

I would love to be the poet laureate of Coney Island.
Thornton Wilder

I'd rather have a search engine or a compiler on a deserted island than a game.
John Carmack

I've had songs written during the Falklands war, and during the first Gulf war I got letters from soldiers saying they were listening to these songs, like Island of no return.
Billy Bragg

If a man were living in isolation his income would be literally his product. Make him the monarch and owner of an island, and the fruits that he raises and the clothing that he makes constitute, in themselves, his income. This ceases to be true when trading begins.
John Bates Clark

If I'm on location on some island, we usually get up at four in the morning to set up. By seven thirty, we're on the beach working until noon, then we rest. It's not exactly a vacation.
Daniela Pestova

In a sense, each of us is an island. In another sense, however, we are all one. For though islands appear separate, and may even be situated at great distances from one another, they are only extrusions of the same planet, Earth.
J. Donald Walters

In every island of the Aegean Sea are found abundant traces of a vast prehistoric empire.
James Theodore Bent

In my district, the budget scales back and eliminates several long-term shore protection projects important to the safety and economic security of Long Island.
Tim Bishop

In the islands of the Aegean Sea, every island is full of graves.
James Theodore Bent

In this first testing ground of the atomic bomb I have seen the most terrible and frightening desolation in four years of war. It makes a blitzed Pacific island seem like an Eden. The damage is far greater than photographs can show.
Wilfred Burchett

It's a tough life being a pop star. You know, at the end of the day when you've paid all the bills and put the kids through college and that, you know, there's only enough left for a small island off the South Pacific.
Larry Mullen

It's funny, but we were living on this small island off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina when I was 9.
Josh Lucas

It's like turning the space program over to the Long Island Railroad.
David R. Brower

Judging is a lonely job in which a man is, as near as may be, an island entire.
Abe Fortas

Let me tell you something: if you're on an island for three and a half months and you're four and a half hours by boat from the nearest store, and there's nobody but 30 crew members on the island, I guarantee that you'd be running around without your clothes on.
Christopher Atkins

Let us work toward greater cooperation with all Caribbean Countries, whether we speak English, Dutch, French or Spanish, whether we are independent or not, and whether we be island or continental territories.
Said Musa

Louisiana loses 30 miles a year off our coast. We lost 100 miles last year off our coast thanks to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. We have lost a size of land equivalent to the entire state of Rhode Island.
