Land Quotes

The rich think this land is theirs though they have never earned the right to call it theirs Picture Quote #1

I think that 9/11 is a greater loss if we do not change our behavior in some way. I think that if we don’t turn it into a positive change in some way, those innocent people really died for no purpose. I would like to think they had some important purpose. What I see, that I don’t like, is the product of what our land of opportunity can breed Picture Quote #1

If what we already know were simply applied to all the agricultural land of the world and the problem of proper distribution were given consideration, the world could feed itself well Picture Quote #1

History is largely a record of human struggle to wrest the land from nature, because man relies for sustenance on the products of the soil. So direct, is the relationship between soil erosion, the productivity of the land, and the prosperity of people, that the history of mankind, to a considerable degree at least, may be interpreted in terms of the soil and what has happened to it as the result of human use Picture Quote #1

Happiness is actually found in simple things, such as taking my nephew around the island by bicycle or seeing the stars at night. We go to coffee shops or see airplanes land at the airport Picture Quote #1

Venice is a place where the past is still hanging around, waiting for an appointment with the future; but the future hasn’t shown up. In the meantime it is a kind of no man’s land, given up by default and occupied by irregulars and their dogs Picture Quote #1

The conquest of the outskirts of the atmosphere, and eventually space, is a revolutionary event, comparable only to the transition of the aquatic animals to the land in geologic times Picture Quote #1

I thought if I was going to live a life in this land I was accidentally born on, I must people it; I must have a history... I’m looking for these people inside me, wherever they may be; that is my form of research Picture Quote #1

Let us no longer be blinded by the dim theology that only in the far seeing vision discovers a millennium, when violence shall no more be heard in the land wasting nor destruction in her borders; but let us behold it now, nigh at the door lending faith and confidence to our hopes, assuring us that even we ourselves shall be instrumental in proclaiming liberty to the captive Picture Quote #1

The deep sea is the largest museum on earth, it contains more history than all the museums on land combined, and yet we’re only now penetrating it Picture Quote #1

Until we find the meaning of the stories in our lives we’re destined to wander in a wilderness even though we’re in a promised land Picture Quote #1

We will have no mercy for white people regarding the land, they cannot own our soil Picture Quote #1

In times past... it was my habit to talk glibly of the right of man to land. It was a bad habit, and I long ago sloughed it off. Man’s only right to land is his might over it. If his neighbor is mightier than he and takes the land from him, then the land is his neighbor’s, until the latter is dispossessed by one mightier still Picture Quote #1

We live on a finite planet. We have finite resources, and we’re running out of good, arable land Picture Quote #1

Nature is a dream state at this point, that we almost don’t have a real relationship to it unless it’s people living off the land and killing our own food and going for it Picture Quote #1

Should not the role of design be to reconnect human beings with their space on their land? Picture Quote #1

Surfing teaches patience. On land, surfers cannot will a swell to appear. They have to wait for nature to make the call. So surfers wait. They keep their eyes on the horizon and they wait Picture Quote #1

I would like to see as many people patriotic to a land as I have seen patriotic to a flag Picture Quote #1

We need to return to learning about the land by being on the land, or better, by being in the thick of it. That is the best way we can stay in touch with the fates of its creatures, its indigenous cultures, its earthbound wisdom. That is the best way we can be in touch with ourselves Picture Quote #1

I will not resolve a land dispute if civil groups or politicians are involved in the land disputes Picture Quote #1

Those who will find here a hold for their souls, an anvil for their hands, and vitality for their hearts, will build both their lives and the land Picture Quote #1

I envision a day when every city and town has front and back yards, community gardens and growing spaces, nurtured into life by neighbors who are no longer strangers, but friends who delight in the edible rewards offered from a garden they discovered together. Imagine small strips of land between apartment buildings that have been turned into vegetable gardens, and urban orchards planted at schools and churches to grow food for our communities. The seeds of the urban farming movement already are growing within our reality Picture Quote #1

I believe that the public temper is such that the voters of the land are prepared to support the party which gives the best promise of administering the government in the honest, simple, and plain manner which is consistent with its character and purposes. They have learned that mystery and concealment in the management of their affairs cover tricks and betrayal. The statesmanship they require consists in honesty and frugality, a prompt response to the needs of the people as they arise, and a vigilant protection of all their varied interests Picture Quote #1

It takes less land to grow a pound of broccoli than it does a pound of beef. Less land to grow a pound of grain than a pound of beef. Less water, less energy Picture Quote #1

If a white man had land, and some one should swindle him, that man would try to get it back, and you would not blame him Picture Quote #1

Ocean people are very different from land people. The ocean never stops saying and asking into ears, which don’t sleep like eyes Picture Quote #1

I don’t drink or do any drugs. I never have and I never will. I don’t need them. I’m a black woman from the land of the free, home of the brave, and I figure I don’t need another illusion Picture Quote #1

Our military should be trained and structured around missions, not the elements of air, water, and land Picture Quote #1

When we enter the landscape to learn something, we are obligated, I think, to pay attention rather than constantly to pose questions. To approach the land as we would a person, by opening an intelligent conversation. And to stay in one place, to make of that one, long observation a fully dilated experience. We will always be rewarded if we give the land credit for more than we imagine, and if we imagine it as being more complex even than language. In these ways we begin, I think, to find a home, to sense how to fit a place Picture Quote #1

The land gets inside of us; and we must decide one way or another what this means, what we will do about it Picture Quote #1
