Dad Land

Famous quotes containing the words dad and/or land:

“It was palpable, all that wanting: Mother wanting something more, Dad wanting something more, everyone wanting something more.

—Anne Taylor Fleming (20th century)

“The merely political aspect of the land is never very cheering; men are degraded when considered as the members of a political organization.”
