Famous quotes containing the words land, force and/or command:
“My country, tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims pride,
From every mountain-side
Let freedom ring!”
—Samuel Francis Smith (18081895)
“Men have two ways of righting their wrongs, by force and by the ballot. Both are denied to women, one by nature, the other by man.”
—Ida A. Harper 18511931, U.S. womens magazine contributor. Firemans Magazine, repr. In The Womans Magazine, pp. 423-5 (May 1887)
“There are confessable agonies, sufferings of which one can positively be proud. Of bereavement, of parting, of the sense of sin and the fear of death the poets have eloquently spoken. They command the worlds sympathy. But there are also discreditable anguishes, no less excruciating than the others, but of which the sufferer dare not, cannot speak. The anguish of thwarted desire, for example.”
—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
