Famous quotes containing the words equipment, playing and/or conditions:

    Biological possibility and desire are not the same as biological need. Women have childbearing equipment. For them to choose not to use the equipment is no more blocking what is instinctive than it is for a man who, muscles or no, chooses not to be a weightlifter.
    Betty Rollin (b. 1936)

    Nothing can be colder than his head, when the lightnings of his imagination are playing in the sky.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    One cannot divine nor forecast the conditions that will make happiness; one only stumbles upon them by chance, in a lucky hour, at the world’s end somewhere, and hold fast to the days, as to fortune or fame.
    Willa Cather (1876–1947)
