Famous quotes containing the word landmarks:

    “The lives of happy people are dense with their own doings—crowded, active, thick.... But the sorrowing are nomads, on a plain with few landmarks and no boundaries; sorrow’s horizons are vague and its demands are few.”
    —Larry McMurtry (b. 1936)

    “Of all the bewildering things about a new country, the absence of human landmarks is one of the most depressing and disheartening.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)
