Land Reclamation Work

Famous quotes containing the words land and/or work:

    We were uncertain whether the water floated the land, or the land held the water in its bosom. It was such a season, in short, as that in which one of our Concord poets sailed on its stream, and sung its quiet glories.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    And this is the final meaning of work: the extension of human consciousness. The lesser meaning of work is the achieving of self-preservation.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
