Land Quotes

There is a language beyond human language, an elemental language, one that arises from the land itself Picture Quote #1

The most difficult task for anyone wandering through a foreign land with the hope of gaining some insight into it is the profound need to come to terms with the lives and thoughts of strangers Picture Quote #1

I became a physician in order to help save lives. I am at once a physician, a citizen, and a woman, and I am not willing to stand aside and allow the concept of expendable human lives to turn this great land of ours into just another exclusive reservation where only the perfect, the privileged, and the planned have the right to live Picture Quote #1

Famine was quite deliberately employed as an instrument of national policy, as the last means of breaking the resistance of the peasantry to the new system where they are divorced from personal ownership of the land and obligated to work on the conditions which the state may demand from them... This famine may fairly be called political because it was not the result of any overwhelming natural catastrophe or such complete exhaustions of the country’s resources in foreign and civil wars Picture Quote #1

I don’t get wrapped up in technique and the like. I have a simple rule and that is to spend as much time in the location as possible. You can’t expect to take a definitive image in half an hour. It takes days, often years. And in fact I don’t believe there is such a thing as a definitive picture of something. The land is a living, breathing thing and light changes its character every second of every day. That’s why I love it so much Picture Quote #1

Conventional cancer treatments are in place as the law of the land because they pay, not heal, the best Picture Quote #1

Faith is a process of leaping into the abyss not on the basis of any certainty about where we shall land, but rather on the belief that we shall land Picture Quote #1

Going back to a simpler life based on living by sufficiency rather than excess is not a step backward. Rather, returning to a simpler way allows us to regain our dignity, puts us in touch with the land, and makes us value human contact again Picture Quote #1

Coaching is like flying an airplane, there is going to be a lot of turbulence, but your job is to land the plane safely Picture Quote #1

Each thing organizes the space around it, rebuffing or sidling up against other things; each thing calls, gestures, beckons to other beings or battles them for our attention; things expose themselves to the sun or retreat among the shadows, shouting with their loud colors or whispering with their seeds; rocks snag lichen spores from the air and shelter spiders under their flanks; clouds converse with the fathomless blue and metamorphose into one another; they spill rain upon the land, which gathers in rivulets and carves out canyons… Picture Quote #1

A particular place in the land is never, for an oral culture, just a passive or inert setting for the human events that occur there. It is an active participant in those occurrences. Indeed, by virtue of its underlying and enveloping presence, the place may even be felt to be the source, the primary power that expresses itself through the various events that unfold there Picture Quote #1

This was once a land where every sane person knew how to build a shelter, grow food, and entertain one another. Now we have been rendered permanent children. It’s the architects of forced schooling who are responsible for that Picture Quote #1

The goal of all your hard work should be to make your reality everyone else’s fantasy land Picture Quote #1

A land full of places that are not worth caring about may soon be a nation and a way of life that is not worth defending Picture Quote #1

No second chances in the land of a thousand dances, the valley of ten million insanities Picture Quote #1

When someone deeply listens to you, your barefeet are on the earth, and a beloved land that seemed distant, is now at home within you Picture Quote #1

Those who march with us will certainly face abuse, misunderstanding, bitter animosity, and possibly the ferocity of struggle and of danger. In return, we can only offer to them the deep belief that they are fighting that a great land may live Picture Quote #1

I have always found the suburbs very beautiful – the light, the change of seasons and so on. I am not so interested in the political dimensions of these things. I didn’t have any witticisms to land on suburbia. I was really just interested in how beautiful it was. I felt it was like a dreamscape and once I understood that was how I needed to approach it the dream started to expand in unusual ways Picture Quote #1

In the absence of any written analogue to speech, the sensible, natural environment remains the primary visual counterpart of spoken utterance, the palpable site, or matrix wherein meaning occurs and proliferates. In the absence of writing, we find ourselves situated in the field of discourse as we are embedded in the natural landscape; indeed, the two matrices are not separable. We can no more stabilize the language and render its meanings determinate than we can freeze all motion and metamorphosis within the land Picture Quote #1

There’s a tear in his eye that refuses to fall. If it would land on me, that would say it all Picture Quote #1

I try so hard not to think that I am a stranger in a strange land. But I know that I stand out Picture Quote #1

I like to hear and smell the countryside, the land that my characters inhabit. I don’t want these characters to step off the page, I want them to step out of the landscape Picture Quote #1

Permitted to inhabit neither the realm of the ideal nor the realm of the real, to be neither aspiration nor companion, beauty comes to us like a fugitive bird unable to fly, unable to land Picture Quote #1

Your brain gets too comfortable in your everyday surroundings. You need to make it uncomfortable. You need to spend some time in another land, among people that do things differently than you. Travel makes the world look new, and when the world looks new, our brains work harder Picture Quote #1

It’s fun to see the light in someone’s eyes. It’s fun to give your own eccentric experience and have it land. That’s fun Picture Quote #1

If I told you about a land of love... would you swallow it as a remedy? Picture Quote #1

The land of possibility is a better place to make your home than the realm of expectation will ever be Picture Quote #1

On land off an ice covered sea the traveler can, for example, detect the presence of open water, simply because it reflects less light than land or ice. The open sea’s telltale sign is thus a darkness on the underside of the clouds Picture Quote #1

We travel so far only to land where we are. We imagine other lives, only to meet who we are. We seek out love in special ways, only to find everyone is special. Humbly, we can’t avoid this journey Picture Quote #1

The most interesting parts of the natural world are the edges, places where ocean meets land, meadow meets forest, timberline touches the heights Picture Quote #1
