Every fundamental order is a spatial order. One speaks of the constitution of a country or a piece of earth as of its fundamental order, its Nomos. Now, the true, actual fundamental order touches in its essential core upon particular spatial boundaries and separations, upon particular quantities and a particular partition of the earth. At the beginning of every great epoch there stands a great land-appropriation. In particular, every significant alteration and every resituating of the image of the earth is bound up with world-political alterations and with a new division of the earth, with a new land-appropriation. ~ Carl Schmitt
Land Appropriation quotes by Carl Schmitt
Silver

The liquid ebony stretches out
and mingles with the midnight sky
where high above,
as on a throne,
is perched that perfect sphere of silver.
She looks upon the lapping waves,
the calm, all serene;
She looks upon the rocky shore,
watching dark nothing
break in two and become
tiny globs of light.
The soft white foam creeps
upon the smooth beige land
to darken it but for a moment,
only to retreat back to its
blackened home
and hide among the vastness.
The silver moon smiles openly,
casting a healthy grin
upon the rippled water below,
sending gifts of silver
to float on seas of woe. ~ Rebecca Harris
Land Appropriation quotes by Rebecca  Harris
I'd work to make it hip again to spend time in our fabled and fabulous land. But with a Puerto Rican father and a Jewish mother, I would probably be better suited as mayor of New York. ~ Geraldo Rivera
Land Appropriation quotes by Geraldo Rivera
We say that the world is made of sea and land, as though they were equal; but we know that there is more sea in the Western than in the Eastern hemisphere. We say that the firmament is full of stars, as though it were equally full; but we know that there are more stars under the Northern than the Southern pole. We say the element of man are misery and happiness, as though he had an equal proportion of both, and the days of man vicissitudinary, as though he had as many good days as ill, and that he lived under a perpetual equinoctial, night and day equal, good and ill fortune in the same measure. But it is far from that; he drinks in misery, and he tastes happiness; he journeys in misery, he does but walk in happiness: and, which is worstn his misery is positive and dogmatical, his happiness is but disputable and problematical: all men call misery misery, but happiness changes the name by the taste of man. ~ John Donne
Land Appropriation quotes by John Donne
Fool!" cried the hunchback. "You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well known is this: 'Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line. ~ William Goldman
Land Appropriation quotes by William Goldman
The boat has become supreme isolation, chosen isolation, holding myself apart from the world, which I only dimly understand anyway. I can sit on the aft deck and never be surprised by anything again- no phone will ever ring, no one will knock that I haven't seen coming for a quarter mile. that I can go to sleep any night and wake up having broken loose- a failed knot, a line frayed, the anchor dragged- that I can drift out of sight of land makes a twisted sense, in line with my internal weather. When everything has proven tenuous one can either move toward permanence or toward impermanence. The boat's sublimely impermanent. Some mornings the fog's so thick that I exist only in a tight globe of clearing, beyond which is all foghorn and unknown. ~ Nick Flynn
Land Appropriation quotes by Nick Flynn
Before the day there was only endless night. When the stars rained down from the skies, and giants and other unfathomable creatures roamed the land, there was a goddess who ruled over them all because she had been clever enough to figure out the secret of time and how to walk between worlds. ~ Scarlett Amaris
Land Appropriation quotes by Scarlett Amaris
Humans will be like decayed gentry. We'll have the glorious mansion called the past that is falling into disrepair. We'll have a piece of land that we didn't look after very well called the planet. And we'll have some nice clothes and a lot of stories. We'll be fading aristocracy. We'll be Blanche Dubois in a moth-eaten silk dress. We'll be Marie Antionette with no cake. ~ Jeanette Winterson
Land Appropriation quotes by Jeanette Winterson
There's a planet,' said Spike, 'made of water, entirely of water, where every solid thing is its watery equivalent. There are no seas because there is no land. There are no rivers because there are no banks. There is no thirst because there is no dry.
'The planet is like a bowl of water except that there is no bowl. It hangs in space as a drop of water hangs from a leaf, except that there is no leaf. It cannot exist, and yet it does. I tell you this so you know that what is impossible sometimes happens. ~ Jeanette Winterson
Land Appropriation quotes by Jeanette Winterson
The golf course. He never thought he'd sink so low, but he did, like every other old duffer across the land. ~ T.C. Boyle
Land Appropriation quotes by T.C. Boyle
With every inch of land on Earth now catalogued by our satellites, the stars are the next place we as a species must travel. And with a booming world population that will hit 9.1 billion in 2050, large-scale space travel may become a necessity. ~ Ben Parr
Land Appropriation quotes by Ben Parr
And suddenly I rejoiced in the great security of the sea as compared with the unrest of the land, in my choice of that untempted life presenting no disquieting problems, invested with an elementary moral beauty by the absolute straightforwardness of its appeal and by the singleness of its purpose. ~ Joseph Conrad
Land Appropriation quotes by Joseph Conrad
It is the Land of Truth (enchanted name!), surrounded by a wide and stormy ocean, the true home of illusion, where many a fog bank and ice, that soon melts away, tempt us to believe in new lands, while constantly deceiving the adventurous mariner with vain hopes, and involving him in adventures which he can never leave, yet never bring to an end. ~ Immanuel Kant
Land Appropriation quotes by Immanuel Kant
Every bit of land is a Holy land, and every drop of water is Holy water, and every single child is a son or a daughter of the one Earth mama, and the one Earth papa. ~ Michael Franti
Land Appropriation quotes by Michael Franti
We are contemporary citizens living in a technological world. Swimming in crosscultural waters can be dangerous, and if you are honest you can't stay there very long. Sooner or later you have to look at your own reflection and decide what to do with yourself.
We are urban people. We make periodic pilgrimages to the country ... If we align ourselves with the spirit of place we will find humility fused with joy.
The land holds stories. ~ Terry Tempest Williams
Land Appropriation quotes by Terry Tempest Williams
mighty tribes of men who had once inhabited this vast continent, but were now exterminated by internecine wars; that their fathers had told them of a great flood, which had covered all the land, except the highest peaks of the mountains, where some of the inhabitants and the buffaloes resorted, and saved themselves from destruction. ~ T.D. Bonner
Land Appropriation quotes by T.D. Bonner
The great question of the seventies is, shall we surrender to our surroundings, or shall we make our peace with nature and begin to make reparations for the damage we have done to our air, to our land, and to our water? ~ Richard M. Nixon
Land Appropriation quotes by Richard M. Nixon
We are a gentle angry people
We are a land of many colors
We are gay and straight together
We are a peaceful loving people
And we are singing, singing for our lives. ~ Holly Near
Land Appropriation quotes by Holly Near
Tave drew nearer, his pace never slowing. He continued with his rapid speed even as he approached the shallows of the beach. What, did he think he could swim on land? If so, the Ujals seriously needed to reconsider their leadership choices. ~ Erin Tate
Land Appropriation quotes by Erin Tate
That's why the firm foundation of every land must be morality untarnished which, if destroyed, Rome will fall and founder. ~ Daniel Berzsenyi
Land Appropriation quotes by Daniel Berzsenyi
This book does not exist. And if that doesn't deter you from buying it, then I'm also selling frozen alien flesh, a patch of Bigfoot's fur, and a patch of land on Pluto (limit one per customer). ~ Jarod Kintz
Land Appropriation quotes by Jarod Kintz
The frailest woman will become a heroine when the life of her own child is at stake. And only the will to save the race and native land or the State, which offers protection to the race, has in all ages been the urge which has forced men to face the weapons of their enemies. ~ Adolf Hitler
Land Appropriation quotes by Adolf Hitler
Anything to do with the land, I love. ~ Chris LeDoux
Land Appropriation quotes by Chris LeDoux
Soldiers of Israel, we have no aims of conquest. Our purpose is to bring to naught the attempts of the Arab armies to conquer our land. ~ Moshe Dayan
Land Appropriation quotes by Moshe Dayan
To inspire himself, he lit up a marijuana cigarette, excellent Land-O-Smiles brand. In ~ Philip K. Dick
Land Appropriation quotes by Philip K. Dick
Bitter struggles deform their participants in subtle, complicated ways. The idea that one should speak one's cultural allegiance first and the truth second (and that this is a sign of authenticity) is precisely such a deformation. ~ Zadie Smith
Land Appropriation quotes by Zadie Smith
If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it? ~ Steven Wright
Land Appropriation quotes by Steven Wright
These memories are part of my heritage, the fabric of my personality, and as real to me as the land itself. ~ Karen Jones Gowen
Land Appropriation quotes by Karen Jones Gowen
I was in the land of fakes and frauds and phonies - I felt like saying "Howdy cousin," to everybody who walked by. ~ Gary Reilly
Land Appropriation quotes by Gary Reilly
He'd say, 'Right now we're livingin an ugly chapter of our lives, but books always get better,'"
~Charlotte Bailey, Land of Stories: A Wishing Spell ~ Chris Colfer
Land Appropriation quotes by Chris Colfer
Energy companies, such as Chevron and Shell, and oil producing countries, such as Kuwait and Venezuela, pump crude oil from their vast land holdings and sell it on the world market. ~ Gary Miller
Land Appropriation quotes by Gary Miller
A joke is not a thing but a process, a trick you play on the listener's mind. You start him off toward a plausible goal, and then by a sudden twist you land him nowhere at all or just where he didn't expect to go. ~ Max Eastman
Land Appropriation quotes by Max Eastman
We often participate in a war only to lose our hearts and to gain a few pieces of land. ~ Debasish Mridha
Land Appropriation quotes by Debasish Mridha
I tend to land roles that are somewhat villainous for some reason. Usually, people blame it on the accent. ~ India De Beaufort
Land Appropriation quotes by India De Beaufort
He recalled that when the sun had risen that morning, he was on another continent, still a shepherd with sixty sheep, and looking forward to meeting with a girl. That morning he had known everything that was going to happen to him as he walked through the familiar fields. But now, as the sun began to set, he was in a different country, a stranger in a strange land, where he couldn't even speak the language. He was no longer a shepherd, and he had nothing, not even the money to return and start everything over. ~ Paulo Coelho
Land Appropriation quotes by Paulo Coelho
The dreariest spot in all the land to Death they set apart; with scanty grace from Nature's hand, and none from that of Art. ~ John Greenleaf Whittier
Land Appropriation quotes by John Greenleaf Whittier
If we were not pushing, fighting, claiming what is ours and challenging what is not yet ours, others would be doing it to us. It is the way of the world. You can be the aggressor, you can fight against crusaders on their own land, or you can stay at home and wait for them to come to you. And they would come. They would come with fire, with disease, with swords and blood and death. Weakness is an irresistible lure. ~ Kiersten White
Land Appropriation quotes by Kiersten White
