Famous quotes containing the words people, land and/or district:
“The law is only one of several imperfect and more or less external ways of defending what is better in life against what is worse. By itself, the law can never create anything better....

—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“Boys forget what their country means by just reading “the land of the free” in history books. Then they get to be men, they forget even more. Liberty’s too precious a thing to be buried in books.”
—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
