| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Land-Tenure in the Christian Era |
 | | It should always be remembered that in this most ancient and unchanged of European societies private ownership in land is absolute and most strictly recognized. | | | To understand the decline of the feudal system and the transformation of the feudal tenure into the land tenure of modern Christendom, it must first be clearly understood that what I have called the indestructible idea of private property in land survived, paradoxical as it may seem, throughout the whole long reign of so-called tenure. | | | To the truth that land is necessary for the life of man, another truth equally self-evident lends added force, to wit that, whereas all other forms of property can be replaced, land cannot be replaced. |

| | Researchers attempting to locate the land of Oz have deduced that Nonestica must be somewhere in the Pacific, however, due to the aformentioned barrier of invisibility, this is impossible to confirm using modern technology (or using antiquated technology, for that matter). | | | It is more likely that the story of the Wizard naming the land after himself is a type of retroactive continuity or revisionist history that attempted to explain the etymology of the name without a complete previous knowledge. | | | The Land of Oz is roughly rectangular in shape, and divided along the diagonals into five countries: Munchkin Country in the East, Winkie Country in the West, Gillikin Country in the North, and Quadling Country in the South. |

| | Return to Never Land |
| | As revisited in this minor Disney- nouveau sequel to the studio’s beloved 1953 Peter Pan, Never Land has the same air of lighthearted whimsy and high-flying imagination. | | | In Never Land, Tink (who still has her 1950s figure, thanks for asking) starts off jealous of Jane, but they end up bonding after Jane’s renewed belief in fairies brings Tink from the edge of death — even though it was Jane’s disbelief that put her life in jeopardy in the first place. | | | These windows — unlike those of her mother’s childhood nursery years earlier, which were left open for Peter Pan — are kept latched; but her first visitor from Never Land is not Peter, and it turns out that the latch can be opened from the outside by a hook slipped between the frames. |

| | Foundations of the Land Ethic |
| | When this forming civilization assembles its Bible, its record of the physical and spiritual pilgrimage of the American People, the account of its stewardship in the Land of Canaan, Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac will belong in it, one of the prophetic books, the utterance of an American Isaiah. | | | To complete the foundations of the Land Ethic, we must find valid sentiments and motivations that might lead us to cherish the earth for its own sake, and not merely in our own "enlightened self interest." To that task we now turn. | | | The Land ethic regards an anthropocentric (i.e., human-centered) ethic as an analog to "kidney-centrism" -- ultimately self-defeating, because it is a point of view that is focused on the level of the component, rather than the level of the whole. |

| | Takings and the Judeo-Christian Land Ethic: A Response |
| | Implicit in the analysis of "This Land Is Your Land" is the assumption that whatever takes place in the private sector reflects human greed and fallibility but that actions in the government sector are in the public interest and not marred by sin. | | | People who own land value it for a host of reasons, and private property rights no more make those reasons sinful than allowing people to observe the Sabbath in their own way means that they will dishonor it. | | | Even if a particular landowner did not think that a road was an accurate reflection of the common good, that landowner could not withhold his land if it was essential for a public improvement. |

| | Excerpts from the Works of Aldo Leopold |
| | The last word in ignorance is the man who says of an animal or plant: "What good is it?" If the land mechanism as a whole is good, then every part is good, whether we understand it or not. | | | By land is meant all of the things on, over, or in the earth. | | | A land ethic of course cannot prevent the alteration, management, and use of these 'resources,' but it does affirm their right to continued existence, and, at least in spots, their continued existence in a natural state. |

| | Cook thought this ice was resting on a submerged piece of land, hence he called it the 'submerged island'. | | | I believe therefore, that if there is land up there, it must, in one way or another, be connected to the existence of a hole which goes deep into the crust of the Earth. | | | The contours of the land and the snow-covered summit of the Snaefells Jokull showed up almost unbelievably near." We are therefore able to establish that under certain strange atmospheric conditions, a mirage can be magnified to make land appear to be 10 or more times closer than it really is. |

| | The phrase The Holy Land (Arabic الأرض المقدسة al-Arḍ ul-Muqaddasah; Hebrew ארץ הקודש;, Standard Hebrew Éreẓ haQodeš, Tiberian Hebrew ʾÉreṣ haqQāḏēš; Latin Terra Sancta) generally refers to Palestine or the Land of Israel. | | | It is described in early Islamic tradition by az-Zujaj as "Damascus, Palestine, and a bit of Jordan", and by Qatada as "the Levant (ash-Sham)" and by Maad ibn Jabal as "the area between al-Arish and the Euphrates", and by Ibn Abbas as "the land of Jericho". | | | It is also sometimes used by Muslims (although not in the Qur'an) in reference to the Hijaz, land of the holy cities Mecca and Medina. |

| | On "The Waste Land" |
| | It is such a misrepresentation of The Waste Land as this which allows Eda Lou Walton to entitle an essay on contemporary poetry, "Death in the Desert"; or which causes Waldo Frank to misconceive of Eliot's whole position and personality. | | | He is not merely one of the denizens of the waste land; he is their sum, he is sin upon sin, even sinner upon sinner--or so his self-multiplying and self-shading ventriloquism suggests. | | | It is clear enough, however, that the contemporary waste land is not, like that of the romances, a realm of sexless sterility. |
