Tejas Issues Land

Famous quotes containing the words issues and/or land:

    The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    Ah! never shall the land forget
    How gushed the life-blood of her brave—
    Gushed, warm with hope and courage yet,
    Upon the soil they fought to save.
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
