Subterranean Land

Famous quotes containing the words subterranean and/or land:

“So this is the subterranean life.
If it can’t be conjugated onto us, what good is it?
What need for purists when the demotic is built to last,
To outlast us, and no dialect hears us?”

“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.”
