Famous quotes containing the words separate, customs and/or territory:

    ... there is no such thing as a rational world and a separate irrational world, but only one world containing both.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    We set up a certain aim, and put ourselves of our own will into the power of a certain current. Once having done that, we find ourselves committed to usages and customs which we had not before fully known, but from which we cannot depart without giving up the end which we have chosen. But we have no right, therefore, to claim that we are under the yoke of necessity. We might as well say that the man whom we see struggling vainly in the current of Niagara could not have helped jumping in.
    Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)

    Size is not grandeur, and territory does not make a nation.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
