Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or field:
“What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
“The field of the poor may yield much food, but it is swept away through injustice.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 13:23.
