Famous quotes containing the word land:

    “But the creative person is subject to a different, higher law than mere national law. Whoever has to create a work, whoever has to bring about a discovery or deed which will further the cause of all of humanity, no longer has his home in his native land but rather in his work.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    And the Holy Land of Ireland,
    And time runs on,” cried she.

    And dance with me in Ireland.””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
