“The sky was as blue as a stupid postcard, and the islands were as green as islands.”
“Look at this world! So vast! So wide! Huge masses of land spread across it; multitudes of green and brown islands dotted the blue expanse of the oceans. He felt like a bird contemplating the sky.”
“The sky above the island was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel—which is to say it was a bright, cheery blue.”
“The sky is blue, the grass is green, and people are stupid." "Meaning?" "Meaning that you can't change any of them.”
“I called this island Bad Humored Island, as we were in a bad humor.”
“... everyone knew that all islands were worlds unto themselves, that to come to an island was to come to another world.”
