Famous quotes containing the words state and/or lands:
“The most absurd apology for authority and law is that they serve to diminish crime. Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. It has failed utterly to destroy or even minimize the horrible scourge of its own creation.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“Not that the Red Indian will ever possess the broad lands of America. At least I presume not. But his ghost will.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
