Famous quotes containing the words native and/or land:

    But, depend upon it, you will love your native hills the better for being separated from them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A land where all things always seemed the same!
    And round about the keel with faces pale,
    Dark faces pale against that rosy flame,
    The mild-eyed melancholy Lotos-eaters came.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
