Famous quotes containing the words fields of, fields and/or activity:

    “The need to exert power, when thwarted in the open fields of life, is the more likely to assert itself in trifles.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “Come up from the fields father, here’s a letter from our Pete,
    And come to the front door mother, here’s a letter from thy dear
    son.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “Life is a series of diminishments. Each cessation of an activity either from choice or some other variety of infirmity is a death, a putting to final rest. Each loss, of friend or precious enemy, can be equated with the closing off of a room containing blocks of nerves ... and soon after the closing off the nerves atrophy and that part of oneself, in essence, drops away. The self is lightened, is held on earth by a gram less of mass and will.”
    —Coleman Dowell (1925–1985)
