Blessed Isle Quotes

“No man is an island, entire of himself,” says John Donne, but two may be, together, needing nothing else.”
― Alex Beecroft, Blessed Isle

“There’s a kind of joy on Garnet’s face, and seeing it shifts everything inside my head. By gradual stages, like sailing out of a fog, the obstruction cleared, my confusion lightened, my shame thinned and lifted; I understood. Garnet needed no refuge, no hidden isle moated all around by impassable sea. Inside himself, where no one else could touch him, he had learned how to be free. How not to be ashamed.”
― Alex Beecroft, Blessed Isle
