Famous quotes containing the word land:

    “Over the land freckled with snow half-thawed
    The speculating rooks at their nests cawed”
    —Edward Thomas (1878–1917)

    “The whole land seems aroused to discussion on the province of woman, and I am glad of it. We are willing to bear the brunt of the storm, if we can only be the means of making a break in that wall of public opinion which lies right in the way of woman’s rights, true dignity, honor and usefulness.”
    —Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
