Famous quotes containing the words acquired and/or land:
“The poorest children in a community now find the beneficent kindergarten open to them from the age of two-and-a-half to six years. Too young heretofore to be eligible to any public school, they have acquired in their babyhood the vicious tendencies of their own depraved neighborhoods; and to their environment at that tender age had been due the loss of decency and self-respect that no after example of education has been able to restore to them.”
—Virginia Thrall Smith (1836–1903)
“This land is your land & this land is my land—sure—but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
