“Exile Island. There were a couple of times at tribal council this season where I was having an almost out of body experience and I realized: I'm getting paid to do this fascinating job!”
Jeff Probst
“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 notion of Exile Island was to remove someone socially as well as physically from the game. But there's simply not enough time, and you would see the same thing over and over: People hungry, sitting in the rain and trying to figure out how many more hours until they can go back to their beach.”
“Only solitary men know the full joys of frienship. Others have their family; but to a solitary and an exile, his friends are everything.”
Willa Sibert Cather
“Scores of Iraqi exiles met in London to discuss ways to overthrow Saddam Hussein in a grand gathering dubbed the 'Iraqi Military Alliance Meeting.' Of course, these people are no longer Iraqi, they have no military, and there is no alliance. But they did have a meeting.”
Jon Stewart
“New York - that unnatural city where every one is an exile, none more so than the American”
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
“Men know they are sexual exiles. They wander the earth seeking satisfaction, craving and despising, never content. There is nothing in that anguished motion for women to envy.”
Camille Paglia
