Arid Lands

Famous quotes containing the words arid and/or lands:

    Language is like soil. However rich, it is subject to erosion, and its fertility is constantly threatened by uses that exhaust its vitality. It needs constant re-invigoration if it is not to become arid and sterile.
    Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)

    Not that the Red Indian will ever possess the broad lands of America. At least I presume not. But his ghost will.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
