“The brain breaks down into little islands that can't talk to one another.”
Giulio Tononi
“Talking with a friend is nothing else but thinking aloud.”
Joseph Addison
“The one thing you can take out of an experience like ('The Island') is, hopefully, some wisdom, ... We've talked about it conceptually, the decision to make the movie, how we cast the movie, how we've marketed the movie. There are things to learn on all fronts. But there's not just a formula that works every time. We will learn things from it, but we might go blindly into something similar in the future.”
Walter Parkes
“Charles Darwin noticed the result. He observed that in some island chains, there would be islands at one end with young volcanic cones, middle islands with cones in different stages of erosion, and at the other end, nothing left but coral reefs.”
Hubert Staudigel
“We don't have a host and it's hard to vote yourself off the island when you're the only one on it.”
Tom Hanks
“We have pacified some thousands of the islanders and buried them; destroyed their fields; burned their villages, and turned their widows and orphans out-of-doors; furnished heartbreak by exile to some dozens of disagreeable patriots; subjugated the remaining 10 millions by Benevolent Assimilation, which is the pious new name of the musket. And so, by these Providences of God -- and the phrase is the government's, not mine -- we are a World Power.”
Mark Twain
“The island is a one-stop shop for wilderness and outdoor adventure. You can get your feet dirty by day and be pampered at night.”
