Famous quotes containing the words plains and/or lowlands:

    The Plains are not forgiving. Anything that is shallow—the easy optimism of a homesteader; the false hope that denies geography, climate, history; the tree whose roots don’t reach ground water—will dry up and blow away.
    Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)

    In the lowlands I have no comrade, not even the lone man’s friend—
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
