Dellis Cay Quotes

Trump, who presents himself as a modern Midas even when much of what he touches turns to dross, has studied the conventions of journalists and displays more genius at exploiting them to his advantage than anyone else I have ever known. More ~ David Cay Johnston

DCL entered into a 99-year lease agreement with the Bahamian government in 1999, giving the cruise line the rights to develop what was then known as Gorda Cay. Renamed Castaway Cay by Disney, the island measures about 1.5 square miles and sits in the Atlantic Ocean, roughly 80 miles north-northeast of Nassau, at about the same latitude as Fort Lauderdale, Florida (100 miles to the west). ~ Len Testa

Under the rules of colonialism, everything goes to and comes from the mother country. In 1870, the colony of Turks and Caicos was asked to send a crest to England so that a flag for the colony could be designed. A Turks and Caicos designer drew a crest that included Salt Cay saltworks with salt rakers in the foreground and piles of salt. Back in England, it was the era of Arctic exploration, and, not knowing where the Turks and Caicos was, the English designer assumed the little white domes were igloos. And so he drew doors on each one. And this scene of salt piles with doors remained the official crest of the colony for almost 100 years, until replaced in 1968 by a crest featuring a flamingo. ~ Mark Kurlansky

Insecurity paralyses, makes one feel half-dead,
especially if one is already tied to the hospital bed. ~ Eleni Cay

We had this thing with blue and grey:
what Mark called blue, I called grey
and what he saw as blue, I saw it as grey.
Maybe that colour-blindness was part of our joint demise.
That we blended our lives, instead of keeping them separate,
we became one – not just regularly in the bed –
but overall in the way we were heading to legalise our ties.
Was that a misguided way of defining love?
Could one stay close to the same person for life? ~ Eleni Cay

Because when you are lonely,
you are more online. You share more lies.
You give more likes. You avoid others' eyes. ~ Eleni Cay

I discovered Musha Cay and the islands around it in the Exumas. ~ David Copperfield

The supposedly eyewitness authority of the Pseudo-Turpin finds a parallel in another genre in which vernacular prose was pioneered: that of the historical memoir. There were twelfth-century verse histories narrated by authors who had personally participated in the events they describe, such as the Third Crusade. But the Fourth Crusade of 1202-4 saw a switch to prose. This shameful fiasco, in which the crusaders were induced to turn aside from the Holy Land and attack instead the Christian city of Constantinople, inspired two contrasting accounts. Robert de Clari--ignorant of higher-level strategy, but all agog at the splendours of Constantinople--gives a worm's eye view. Geoffroi de Villehardouin, by contrast, has a top diplomat's suave authority and a leader's eye for the aesthetics of war--the splendid sight of a fleet, or the noble heroism of a ruler. For both authors the medium of prose seems to convey the purported authenticity and transparency of lived experience. ~ Sarah Cay Terence Cave Malcolm Bowie

But if love is not unique to the human breed,
then my whole existence does not matter anymore. ~ Eleni Cay

This would be an outrageous cay man ~ Theodore Taylor

who can tell how long novelty lasts?
Is it different for each experience, for each individual?
Is our different response to novelty that makes us human? ~ Eleni Cay

When you trade the heart as a commodity,
then you can do that with any other organ,
any human. Any island, any country.
Any home becomes a sellable property. ~ Eleni Cay

Abe, why do you not just add that Christians slaughter their newborns, are child molesters and F**k sheep, as then you would complete the arguments of Minicius Felix who you are eager to reproduce without quoting him? ~ Cay Hasselmann

That their shooting of messages will stop,
that they will give their thoughts more thought,
that they will start engaging in reflection,
develop a true conversation,
and in that meaning-negotiation,
create some new understanding.
The real thing. ~ Eleni Cay

... authentic love. It's some kind of empathy I haven't experienced before, more like a verb than a noun, not an act of calculated wisdom, but nurtured long-term in a shared act of becoming one soul. ~ Eleni Cay

A $100,000,000 venture capital fund was set up solely for products using a specific computer language. ~ Cay S. Horstmann

What happened on that tiny island off the coast of Cuba called Flowering Cay at times seems like a half-remembered dream, one of those groggy remembrances that you're never quite certain you didn't just imagine. Other times I can recall it with such clarity it is as if it happened yesterday. Sitting in front of my typewriter as the palms sway gently at the urging of the trade winds, I almost wish I could forget everything. But then I think of Faith. ~ Bobby Underwood
