Famous quotes containing the words land and/or defence:
“Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“There can be no defence like elaborate courtesy.”
—E.V. (Edward Verrall)
