“... men find islands appealing because they hold the promise of private kingdoms, imaginary holdfasts to escape the problems we cannot face at home. They are the lair of the Bond villain and the home of Prospero, sanctuaries where power can be wielded absolutely and the wide sea forms the ultimate moat.”

“…I once found a list of diseases as yet unclassified by medical science, and among these there occurred the word Islomania, which was described as a rare but by no means unknown affliction of spirit. There are people…who find islands somehow irresistible. The mere knowledge that they are on an island, a little world surrounded by the sea, fills them with an indescribable intoxication. These born “islomanes”…are direct descendents of the Atlanteans”
