Famous quotes containing the word land:

    “We come and go, but the land is always here. And the people who love it and understand it are the people who own it—for a little while.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “The seashore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is even a trivial place. The waves forever rolling to the land are too far-traveled and untamable to be familiar. Creeping along the endless beach amid the sun-squall and the foam, it occurs to us that we, too, are the product of sea-slime.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
