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

    “Genius is the naturalist or geographer of the supersensible regions, and draws their map; and, by acquainting us with new fields of activity, cools our affection for the old. These are at once accepted as the reality, of which the world we have conversed with is the show.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Love is the reason you were born.”
    —Dorothy Fields (1904–1974)

    “The animal is one with its life activity. It does not distinguish the activity from itself. It is its activity. But man makes his life activity itself an object of his will and consciousness. He has a conscious life activity. It is not a determination with which he is completely identified.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)
