Land Prices

Famous quotes containing the words land and/or prices:

“The windy springs and the blazing summers, one after another, had enriched and mellowed that flat tableland; all the human effort that had gone into it was coming back in long, sweeping lines of fertility. The changes seemed beautiful and harmonious to me; it was like watching the growth of a great man or of a great idea. I recognized every tree and sandbank and rugged draw. I found that I remembered the conformation of the land as one remembers the modelling of human faces.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)

“The earth only has so much bounty to offer and inventing ever larger and more notional prices for that bounty does not change its real value.”
—Ben Elton (b. 1959)
