Famous quotes containing the words protected, areas and/or groups:
“When a girls under 21, shes protected by law. When shes over 65, shes protected by nature. Anywhere in betweenshes fair game.”
—Stanley Shapiro (19251990)
“The discovery of the North Pole is one of those realities which could not be avoided. It is the wages which human perseverance pays itself when it thinks that something is taking too long. The world needed a discoverer of the North Pole, and in all areas of social activity, merit was less important here than opportunity.”
—Karl Kraus (18741936)
“Trees appeared in groups and singly, revolving coolly and blandly, displaying the latest fashions. The blue dampness of a ravine. A memory of love, disguised as a meadow. Wispy cloudsthe greyhounds of heaven.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
