Waste Land

Famous quotes containing the words waste and/or land:

    The world is too much with us; late and soon,
    Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    Beluthahatchee is a country where all unpleasant doings and sayings are forgotten, a land of forgiveness and forgetfulness. When a woman accusingly reminds her man of something in the past, he replies, ‘I thought that was in Beluthahatchee.’ Or a person may say to another, to dismiss some matter, “Oh, that’s in Beluthahatchee.’
    —For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
