Famous quotes containing the words minor and/or lands:

    For a country to have a great writer ... is like having another government. That’s why no régime has ever loved great writers, only minor ones.
    Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)

    Israel, and you who call yourself Israel, the Church that calls itself Israel, and the revolt that calls itself Israel, and every nation chosen to be a nation—none of these lands is yours, all of you are thieves of holiness, all of you at war with Mercy.
    Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
