Famous quotes containing the words fatherland and/or front:

    “A state always calls itself fatherland when it is ready for murder.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.... I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
