Famous quotes containing the words land and/or act:

    “Somewhere over the rainbow
    Way up high,
    There’s a land that I heard of
    Once in a lullaby.”
    —Yip Harburg (1898–1981)

    “of artists dying in childbirth, wise-women charred at the stake,
    centuries of books unwritten piled behind these shelves;
    and we still have to stare into the absence
    of men who would not, women who could not, speak
    to our life—this still unexcavated hole
    called civilization, this act of translation, this half-world.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
