Famous quotes containing the words territorial and/or division:

    “All the territorial possessions of all the political establishments in the earth—including America, of course—consist of pilferings from other people’s wash.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
