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?”

“The land was ours before we were the land’s.
She was our land more than a hundred years
Before we were her people.”
