Quote by T. E. Lawrence
Men have looked upon the desert as barren land, the free holding of whoever chose but in fact each hill and valley in it had a man who was its acknowledged owner and would quickly assert the right of his family or clan to it, against aggression.
Summary
This quote emphasizes an important misconception about deserts. While many people view deserts as uninhabited and unclaimed territories, the quote challenges this notion, highlighting that every part of the desert is owned and defended by different individuals, families, or clans. It suggests that despite the seemingly empty landscape, there are people who have established a sense of ownership and will assert their rights over any infringement. This quote serves as a reminder that appearances can be deceiving and that even in seemingly barren places, there is often a complex web of human presence, history, and territories.
