Land Force Command

Famous quotes containing the words land, force and/or command:

    O land and soil, red soil and sweet-gum tree,
    So scant of grass, so profligate of pines,
    Jean Toomer (1894–1967)

    Love, the strongest and deepest element in all life, the harbinger of hope, of joy, of ecstasy; love, the defier of all laws, of all conventions; love, the freest, the most powerful moulder of human destiny; how can such an all-compelling force be synonymous with that poor little State and Church-begotten weed, marriage?
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    I at least have so much to do in unravelling certain human lots, and seeing how they were woven and interwoven, that all the light I can command must be concentrated on this particular web, and not dispersed over that tempting range of relevancies called the universe.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
