Acre Site

Famous quotes containing the words acre and/or site:

“Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea for an acre of barren ground, long heath, brown furze, anything.”

“I am not aware that any man has ever built on the spot which I occupy. Deliver me from a city built on the site of a more ancient city, whose materials are ruins, whose gardens cemeteries.
