If you're going to build something, don't build on land someone else already owns. You want your own land, your own domain, your own sovereignty.

John Battelle

Stephen Kinzer

Young man the simple answer is: land, land and land. No-one gives up land. Ever.

William S. Burroughs

Every person is a Hindu who regards and owns this Bharat Bhumi, this land from the Indus to the seas, as his Fatherland as well as Holyland, i.e. the land of the origin of his religion... Consequently the so-called aboriginal or hill tribes also are Hindus: because India is their Fatherland as well as their Holyland of whatever form of religion or worship they follow.

Vinayak Damodar Savarkar

This land is your land, this land is my land, From California to the New York Island. From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me.

Woody Guthrie
