Famous quotes with Hinterland

  • Reality shows that, contrary to other countries in southern Africa, we have no basis for a classical guerilla struggle. We have never had a hinterland, and we do not expect to.

To those devoid of imagination a blank place on the map is a useless waste; to others, the most valuable part.
    Aldo Leopold
