Land! an island! we devoured it greedily with our eyes and woke the others, who tumbled out drowsily and stared in all directions as if they thought our bow was about to run on to a beach. screaming seabirds formed a bridge across the sky in the direction of the distant island, which stood out sharper against the horizon as the red background widened and turned gold with the approach of the sun and the full daylight.

Land! An Island! We Devoured It Greedily

More From Thor Heyerdahl

She sat down on one of her grandmother's uncomfortable armchairs, and the cat sprang up into her lap and made itself comfortable. the light that came through the picture window was daylight, real golden late-afternoon daylight, not a white mist light. the sky was a robin's-egg blue, and coraline could see trees and, beyond the trees, green hills, which faded on the horizon into purples and grays. the sky had never seemed so sky, the world had never seemed so world ... nothing, she thought, had ever been so interesting.

I will never forget that the only reason i'm standing here today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when it was risky. stood up when it was hard. stood up when it wasn't popular. and because that somebody stood up, a few more stood up. and then a few thousand stood up. and then a few million stood up. and standing up, with courage and clear purpose, they somehow managed to change the world.

Bastian had climbed a dune of purplish-red sand and all around him he saw nothing but hill after hill of every imaginable color. each hill revealed a shade or tint that occured in no other. the nearest was cobalt blue, another was saffron yellow, then came crimson red, then indigo, apple green, sky blue, orange, peach, mauve, turquoise blue, lilac, moss green, ruby red, burnt umber, indian yellow, vermillion, lapis lazuli, and so on from horizon to horizon. and between the hill, separating color from color, flowed streams of gold and silver sand.

The sun is a huntress young, the sun is a red, red joy, the sun is an indian girl, of the tribe of the illinois. the sun is a smouldering fire, that creeps through the high gray plain, and leaves not a bush of cloud to blossom with flowers of rain. the sun is a wounded deer, that treads pale grass in the skies, shaking his golden horns, flashing his baleful eyes. the sun is an eagle old, there in the windless west. atop of the spirit-cliffs he builds him a crimson nest.

We don't turn back. we leave no one behind. we pull each other up. we draw strength from our victories, and we learn from our mistakes, but we keep our eyes fixed on that distant horizon, but we keep our eyes fixed on that distant horizon, knowing that providence is with us, and that we are surely blessed to be citizens of the greatest nation on earth.
