Famous quotes containing the words public and/or lands:
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood.

The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Oh, never this whelming east wind swells

Before the age of the fern....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
