Sugar Land

Famous quotes containing the words sugar and/or land:

“They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

“Over the land freckled with snow half-thawed
The speculating rooks at their nests cawed”
